Gluten-free Pumpkin Loaf

This is a super delicious Gluten-Free Pumpkin Loaf that makes a tasty afternoon snack with a cup of tea or  quick healthy breakfast spread with some avocado or hummus. The bright orange colour of pumpkin indicates their high levels of beta-carotene, needed to support good eye health and vision, and boost immune function and skin health. Pumpkins also pack a fibrous punch which helps keep you regular and offers protection from bowel cancer and high cholesterol. Almond meal is a great gluten-free alternative to regular flour. Almonds are full of protein to help build and repair the body, along with dietary fibre, zinc and calcium. Cinnamon is a lovely warming spice that helps support healthy circulation and balanced blood sugar levels. Turmeric is a potent anti-inflammatory spice that has been found to be useful for relieving inflammation in the body, making it beneficial for arthritis sufferers.

Gluten-free and dairy-free.
