6+ months* - This loaf is a winner for toddlers and grown ups. Slice for snacks or bake as muffins for lunchboxes.
WET INGREDIENTS:
- 400 g pumpkin (cooked weight - mashed. Don’t overcook it or it goes too watery)
- 80 ml coconut oil (melted)
- 60 ml maple syrup (omit for under 12 months)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
- 80 ml soy milk
DRY INGREDIENTS:
- 160 g wholemeal flour
- 100 g plain flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 2 tbsp ground flaxseed
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp ground cloves
- 1 tbsp pumpkin seeds (optional to top, omit for under 18 months)
Preheat the oven to 180c/350f.
In a large bowl mash the pumpkin until smooth, then stir in the remaining wet ingredients.
Add all of the dry ingredients and fold gently until just combined.
Pour into the loaf tin (we used the Reserve loaf tin) and smooth the top (add seeds if using).
Bake for 45–50 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool in the tin for 10 minutes then transfer to a rack to cool fully before slicing.
Store covered at room temp for 2 days, in the fridge for 5 days, or freeze slices for up to 2 months.
