This delicious bread recipe was given to us by one of our great staff members, Jenny! You won't be disappointed when you make this deliciously warm bread this fall! 


1/2 cup Olive Oil, plus more for greasing loaf pan
2 tbsp ground chia or flax seeds
Hot water
¼ cup water
1 cup pumpkin puree
½ tsp cinnamon
½ tsp nutmeg 
1 ½ cups flour
1 cup sugar
½ tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup walnuts, optional

Preheat the oven to 350. Thoroughly grease a standard loaf pan with 1 TSP Olive Oil. 

In a small bowl, whisk together ground Chia or Flax seeds with 6 TBSP hot water.  

Combine this mixture in a large bowl with:  ½ Cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil or Walnut Oil, ¼ Cup Water, Pumpkin Puree, Cinnamon, Nutmeg.

In a separate, large bowl whisk together thoroughly: Flour, Sugar, Salt, Baking Soda

Combine the pumpkin and flour mixtures until just incorporated. *Optional: Add ½ cup chopped walnuts and stir.
