Pumpkin Oat Bread ~ Oil-Gluten-Dairy-Free

The intention with this pumpkin bread recipe was to create a tea bread with some serious “nutritional bang for your bite” using fresh raw grated pumpkin instead of pureed, mashed or canned pumpkin, so it is simple + sensible to make.

The recipe is nutrient-density with whole food seasonal ingredients ~ oil-free, gluten-free, dairy-free and refined sugar-free; made with grated pumpkin, oat flour, apple sauce, maple syrup, pumpkin seeds, raisins and warming, grounding spices. 

The pumpkin seeds add great texture and minerals, plus small amounts of healthy fats that make the fat-soluble nutrients like vitamin A bio-available for absorption = a functional nutrition approach to truly using food as medicine.
