10 mins

A moist, warmly spiced loaf made with pumpkin, ground almonds, cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg, topped with crunchy pumpkin seeds. It's naturally gluten-free and lightly sweetened with maple syrup, and it's lovely with a cup of tea on a chilly afternoon.

Ingredients
  • 3 tbsp light olive oil
  • 260g pumpkin purée (from a tin or roast and blend your own)
  • 2 eggs (or2 tbsp ground flaxseed mixed with 6 tbsp water and left for 5 minutes).
  • 80g 0% fat Greek yoghurt, plus 500g to serve (50g per slice) (or plain soya yoghurt) 
  • 3 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 190g ground almonds (or 190g oat flour or blitzed oats in the blender) 
  • 2 tbsp ground flaxseed
  • 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
  • 15g pumpkin seeds
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • ½ tsp ground nutmeg
  • ½ tsp ground allspice
Needed kitchenware

You'll need a 900g (2lb) loaf tin and baking paper.

Instructions

1.

Heat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan) and line the loaf tin with baking paper.

2.

In a large bowl, whisk the oil, pumpkin purée, eggs, 80g yoghurt, maple syrup, vanilla and vinegar until smooth.

3.

Add the ground almonds, flaxseed, bicarbonate of soda and spices, and stir until just combined.

4.

Pour into the tin, smooth the top, and scatter with the pumpkin seeds.

5.

Bake until risen, golden and a skewer pushed into the centre comes out clean (50–60 minutes). If the top browns too quickly, cover loosely with foil after 30 minutes.

6.

Cool in the tin for 15 minutes, then lift out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

7.

Serve each slice with 50g Greek yoghurt.
