INGREDIENTS
-1 large can of pumpkin or 4 cups of pumpkin (not pumpkin pie mix)
-1 cup almond meal/flour
-3/ 4 cup of one of the following: pure cane syrup, real maple syrup, coconut sugar, Medjool dates, or if you want a sugar free option choose Stevia or Truvia
- 2 cups cashew or almond milk
- 6 eggs
-¾ teaspoon cinnamon
-¾ teaspoon ginger
-¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- 4 scoops protein powder
METHOD
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Spray 2 bread baking pans with cooking spray
Mix all ingredients together in a large mixing bowl
Pour batter evenly into both pans
Bake for 60 minutes – check the bread pudding with a toothpick and keep it in as long as needed. I set the timer for 10 minutes and check every ten minutes.
Tips: We bake it at a low temperature so it cooks evenly and doesn’t burn. Feel free to fold in 1 cup of walnuts or carob chips/unsweetened chocolate chips after the ingredients are mixed together. The consistency should be like baked custard pudding.
