Ingredients

DRY INGREDIENTS

1 cup almond flour
2 Tbsp granulated sugar of choice*
2 tsp pumpkin pie spice mix
½ tsp baking soda
1 tsp apple cider vinegar
¼ tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla extract

WET INGREDIENTS

½ cup pumpkin puree
1 large egg
1 Tbsp light olive oil or melted coconut oil

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Line a loaf pan with parchment paper or grease the inside of the pan with olive/coconut oil.
Mix all the dry ingredients in a bowl
Add the wet ingredients into the bowl and stir until well combined. Spread the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
Bake in a preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Let cool slightly before taking out of the pan.
Frost the cake with my 2-ingredient almond butter frosting, the healthy chocolate frosting, or a frosting of choice.
Store in the fridge (in a closed container) up to 5-7 days, or freeze leftovers, safe for 6 months. To serve after freezing the cake, defrost the cake overnight in the fridge to eat the following day.

Notes

* You can use any granulated or liquid sweetener of your choice, but honey, maple syrup, coconut sugar, date sugar and maple sugars are the less processed, naturally derived sweeteners. For the lower-calorie, reduced carb option reflected in the nutrition facts, use sugar-free sweeteners such as stevia (just be sure to convert according to package instructions as stevia differs by brand).
