To make pumpkin bread, first, put a block of grass fed butter (1 cup) and a half cup local honey in a mixer and beat until frothy, about 20 minutes.
Add one tablespoon cinnamon, 2 teaspoons nutmeg (freshly grated nutmeg is best), 1 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/4 teaspoon of mace, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 2 teaspoons vanilla, 1 teaspoon almond extract and two cups of packed pumpkin or butternut squash.
Add 4 eggs and 4 cups of almond flour, alternating one egg, mix thoroughly, one cup flour, mix thoroughly, one egg, mix thoroughly, one cup flour, etc, until blended thoroughly.
Pour into muffin liners, or a buttered 9 x 13. Bake at 350 degrees for 50 minutes or until cooked thoroughly so the top has browned, cracked and doesn’t jiggle.
Adding more pumpkin will make this bread more of a brownie.
This pumpkin bread will disappear fast!

I’m doing GAPS, rarely bake, and am concerned about too much almond flour, especially from almonds that have not been soaked/sprouted (phytic acid). This would be ok once, e.g. for Thanksgiving, but could I substitute coconut flour or some other kind of flour or maybe combine flours? Have you tried that? It is so easy to overdo on the nut flours. Thanks, Elissa
Salted or unsalted butter!?
If unsalted is used, salt can be added for taste.
Hi Becky, in what stage can you have this bread? Thank you!
Stage Five for most folks. This will help navigate the stages best: https://www.amazon.com/GAPS-Stage-Recipes-Becky-Plotner/dp/1091590389/ref=as_li_ss_il?keywords=gaps+stage+by+stage+with+recipes&qid=1580860020&sr=8-3&linkCode=li2&tag=gapsprotocolhelp-20&linkId=f096650e6be0be60c692de543c1d26ba&language=en_US
