Chai pumpkin caramel bread (paleo)


This recipe screams Thanksgiving, which makes me homesick because this year, I'm away from the States for the first time in my life for Thanksgiving. Buuuut I'm loving all of the vegan restaurants in London (and I'm not even vegan). Food is probably the number one thing I'm going to miss about this city. Is that sad? Anyway, the recipe, inspired by @paleomg. It's pretty damn good, and usually isn't oval-shaped like the picture below, but there's not a bread pan in the dorm kitchen so ya gotta do what ya gotta do. The dates melt a little to make a caramel flavor. Make this and cry of joy. 

Mmmmm oval-shaped bread
Ingredients: 
  • 1 cup almond butter (or other nut butter ----> pb is amazing as well)
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 overripe banana, mashed
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (not necessary, but recommended)
  • 2 eggs, whisked
  • 1/2 cup chopped dates
  • 2 chai tea packets (take the spices out of the packets)
  • 3 tablespoons coconut flour
  • 1/2 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • pinch of sea salt 

  •  Method:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. 
2. Combine the almond butter, banana, pumpkin, honey, and eggs. Then add in the tea packet ingredients and mix well.
3. Add the rest of the ingredients, except for the dates and mix well again.
4. Add in the dates.
5. Grease a pan and evenly pour in the batter (parchment paper works well)
6. Bake for about 40 minutes, and let cool before devouring. 

Happy almost Thanksgiving!
