Pumpkin Bread

Here is a great one that is suiting for the Holiday season (past...):

1/2 cup of butter (or 1/4 cup of olive oil and 1/4 cup of apple sauce
1/4 cup of Agave Necter or honey
15oz Can of pumpkin (Libbys is GF)
2 eggs

1 tsp Vanilla Extract
1 tsp of cinnamon
pinch of nutmeg & clove
-optional- I like to add a pinch of ginger powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp of baking soda
2 tsp of baking powder
1.5 tsp of Xanthan Gum
1.75 cups of Brown rice flour
1/4 cup of tapioca starch
1/2 Cup of Pecans or Walnuts

Preheat oven to 325 F

Mix first 4 ingredients together separately until well blended, do same with rest in another bowl then mix the dry ingredients into the wet in 2 batches. Mix batter until well mixed. Put batter in lightly grease loaf pan.

Cook for 65-75 minutes (until lightly browned on top.)

This makes for a great after run snack or anytime for that matter since I love pumpkin!
