Ingredients

• 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup pumpkin seeds
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon nutmeg
• 0.75 cup brown sugar
• 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup plain yogurt (gluten-free)
• 0.25 cup olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with olive oil or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine gluten-free all-purpose flour, pumpkin seeds, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir well to ensure all dry ingredients are evenly mixed.

Step 3

In another bowl, whisk together brown sugar, unsweetened applesauce, eggs, vanilla extract, plain yogurt, and olive oil until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold them together using a spatula. Be careful not to over-mix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with the spatula.

Step 6

Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.

Step 7

Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes.

Step 8

Carefully remove the bread from the pan and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 9

Enjoy the gluten-free pumpkin seed bread as it is, or with a spread of your choice.
