Wheat-free pumpkin bread 25. December 2010 William Davis (5) Try this recipe for a wheat-free, gluten-free yet healthy "bread." Unlike many gluten-free foods that send blood sugar skyward, this will not. Ingredients:2 cups ground almond meal (Buy it from Trader Joe's--70% cheaper than other grocery stores.)1/2 cup ground flaxseed1/2 cup sour cream (full-fat, of course)15 oz canned pumpkin (Trader Joe's is bisphenol A-free)2 medium to large eggs1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans4 tablespoons butter, melted2 teaspoons baking powder2 teaspoons cinnamon1 teaspoon nutmeg or allspiceDash of saltChoice of non-nutritive sweetener (I used 3 teaspoons Trader Joe's stevia extract powder, the one mixed with lactose. Two tablespoons of Truvia, 1/2 teaspoon of the more concentrated stevia extract, or 1/2 cup Splenda are other choices. You can taste the mixed batter to gauge sweetness if in doubt.) Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease baking pan (e.g., 10 x 6 inch). The pan should be big enough so that the mix will not be more than 2 inches deep, else it will require much longer to bake. (If you have only smaller pans, you will need to cook longer while the pan is covered with aluminum foil.) Mix all ingredients thoroughly in large bowl. Pour mix into greased baking pan. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake for additional 30 minutes or until inserted toothpick or knife comes out dry. Serve with cream cheese or as is. (I'd have some pictures, but the kids and I ate it up before I thought to take any photographs.)
