Pumpkin Bread - getting the good stuff in the little ones

I love making wholesome foods for my family but more then that I love making delicious food! Well this pumpkin bread is delicious and good for you - double yes but even better Baby T eats it up - Hat Trick! 

So here is the recipe, it is a variation of 'ross's pumpkin bread' in The Good Food Book For Families. 


1 1/2 cups pumpkin puree
1/3 cup honey
1/2 cup melted coconut oil
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2 eggs beaten 
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 tbs Chia
3 tbs millet 
2 tsp baking powder 
1 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1 1/2 tsp ground ginger
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon 
1/4 tsp salt
3/4 cup raisins 

• preheat oven to 350 F 
• Grease and flour a loaf pan and set aside
• Mix together pumpkin puree, brown sugar, coconut oil, vanilla and eggs and set aside 
• In a separate bowl (confession, I rarely do this as I don't want extra dishes, instead I just pour the dry ingredients onto wet right away - tsk, tsk, but it works!) pour into wet stir in raisins
• Pour into prepared loaf pan and bake for approximately 1 hour or until a toothpick inserted into  the centre of the loaf comes out clean. 
• Cool on wire rack for 10 minutes. Turn loaf out of pan and let cool completely on rack (unless you are my husband in which case you butcher the loaf and smother a pice with butter- yum). 

Enjoy!!!
