Pumpkin Bread {Gluten, Grain, Soy and Dairy FREE!}



At last! A bread that is Gluten, Grain, Soy and Dairy free that doesn't contains tons of eggs. Most Paleo bread recipes call for 5 eggs and to be honest, I really don't like the over the top "eggy" taste. I had to figure out a way to use less eggs without jeopardizing consistency. Then I realized that Chia seeds could be used! They absorb water, are gelatinous and would be able to hold the bread together perfectly. It took several months of playing around but here she is at last! 

If you have never tried baking with coconut flour , please note that the texture is a little different than what you may be used to. 

Here is a guilt-less treat for you and your family!
