Kitchen Gadget: Blendtec Blender
I’ve been using a Blendtec blender almost daily for the last 6 months and I absolutely love it! It effortlessly crushes through ice cubes and frozen fruit when I make smoothies. I advertise for Blendtec on this site because I truly love their product (I purchased mine, it wasn’t given to me to review). I stand behind these products and can assure you that you won’t be disappointed! They offer deals on refurbished models, so if you’re looking to save a few bucks I’d suggest checking them out first.

Recipe: Grain-Free Pumpkin Bread
Has the chilly fall weather and the crunching of the leaves beneath your feet leave you craving some sweet pumpkin baked goods ? (That’s normal…right?) Have no fear, put the pumpkin scone down! I found this delicious recipe from The Wheatless Kitchen for a grain-free pumpkin bread. Mmm mmm. The pumpkin pie spice will make your house smell like pumpkin heaven! Helllooooo Fall!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 4 large eggs
- 3/4 cups pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 1/3 cup light canned coconut milk
- 1/4 cup real maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup melted coconut oil
To sprinkle on top:
- 1-2 tbsp sliced almonds
- 1-2 tbsp pepitas (pumpkin seeds)
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a loaf pan with coconut oil or cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, baking powder, pie spice and salt until combined.
- Add all of the wet ingredients and whisk until evenly combined.
- Pour the batter into the loaf pan and spread it out evenly using a spoon.
- Sprinkle the sliced almonds and pepitas over the top of the batter. Bake for 40-45 minutes, until a knife that is inserted in the center comes out clean.
- After removing from the oven, let it sit in the loaf pan for about 10 minutes to cool a bit. Then transfer it to a cooling rack and let it cool for at least 15-20 minutes before cutting into it.
