For this holiday season, here is a super simple and quick pumpkin bread recipe that will be the first to fly off your table.

Pumpkin is an awesome ingredient to use for baking. It gives breads like this a super moist and soft texture and a great flavor. This pumpkin marble loaf is no different and is full of pumpkin and chocolate flavor. What really sets this recipe apart, is that it is made with no processed ingredients and is free of  grains, gluten, soy and dairy, for those of you that have food allergies. In place of wheat flour, I used almond flour along with a raw, unsweetened cocoa powder, organic flaxseed meal, coconut oil and raw honey. For the pumpkin puree, you can certainly roast your own pumpkin and puree it yourself, but I used an organic brand by Pacific Natural Foods which is sold in BPA-free cartons and tastes amazing.

I would also like to tell you about a new brand of coconut oil and flaxseed meal I used in this recipe. Barlean’s is an amazing brand that sells natural and organic products. They recently sent me their flaxseed meal and coconut oil to try and I must say that their product is now one of my top favorite brands for coconut oil and flaxseed. Their coconut oil truly has an amazing taste and I can easily take spoonfuls of it. No exaggerations here, it really is that good! Their flaxseed meal has a nutty taste and is perfect for baking or sprinkling on top of smoothies, yogurt or fruits. So, I wanted to give a special thanks to Barlean’s for providing us with their delicious, wholesome line of products.
