Pumpkin Bread with Einkorn Flour

There is just so much to love about Fall – it is my favorite season! Crisp air, changing leaves and of course – pumpkin everything!

During the summer months it seems like I’m always whipping up a batch of banana bread, but as soon as fall arrives it’s all about the pumpkin in our home. My husband loves taking this bread to work in the morning along with a hot mug of coffee. 

You can also make this bread with regular white flour, but we prefer the healthier alternative of Einkorn flour. Einkorn is the original “staff-of-life” grain, known as the oldest variety of wheat, which dates back to the beginning of time. Einkorn’s natural genetic code and low gluten levels make it a superior choice because of the compatibility with the human body when compared to the modern hybrid wheat of today. Einkorn grain is easier to digest, so nutrients are better absorbed.
