boiling water, enough to cover dates
1 1/4 cup packed (290 g), finely chopped pitted dates
2 cups (250 g) spelt flour
2/3 cup (135 g) coconut sugar
1 tbsp baking soda
1/2 tsp sea salt
1 tbsp pumpkin pie spice
1/2 tsp psyllium husk powder + 3 tbsp hot water
1/2 cup (125 ml) non-dairy milk + 1 tsp white or apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup melted (45 g) coconut oil
1/2 cup (125 g) plain canned pumpkin puree

Instructions

Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees
Place the chopped dates in a bowl, pour boiling water over them and set aside for about 10 minutes.
Mix the psyllium and water in a small dish and set aside for at least 3 minutes.
Mix the flour, sugar, baking soda and sea salt together in a bowl.
Mix the milk and apple cider vinegar together in a small bowl.
Add the milk and apple cider vinegar mixture, psyllium egg, melted coconut oil and pumpkin to the dry ingredients. Drain the dates and add those too.
Fold together gently until all the dry ingredients are wetted. Do not over mix.
Line a standard-sized loaf pan with parchment paper or lightly coat with non-stick cooking spray.
Evenly spread the batter into the pan and bake for 50 minutes.
Let sit in the pan for about 5 minutes.
Carefully lift or lift out of the pan and let cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Psyllium powder can be substituted with 1 tbsp ground flax. Coconut sugar can be subbed with white sugar, cane sugar or for sugar-free loaf, granulated monk fruit sweetener.
