Pumpkin Gingerbread
Have one too many Christmas cookies yesterday (I don’t think that’s possible….) or just feel like you need a healthy breakfast to wake you up this morning? I love seasonal foods but the thought of one more sugar induced tummy ache sounds rough to say the least. That’s why I made this pumpkin gingerbread. It’s packed with nutrients but it still tastes like Christmas – the perfect companion to my morning of catching up after a few days off.
1 3/4 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup oat flour (or just put oats through a food processor)
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup ground flaxseed
1 tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tbsp pumpkin pie spices
1 tbsp cinnamon
1 tbsp ginger
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1 tbsp vanilla
1 can pumpkin puree
2 flax eggs (regular eggs will work as well)
1/4 cup molasses
1 cup applesauce
