Sourdough Pumpkin Bread (for Bread Machine)


I made this last night to eat with black bean and pumpkin soup, and it was great! It's a recipe I found online but modified to be fat free.

1 cup pumpkin puree
1 cup sourdough starter
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger 
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
2 tablespoons apple butter
2 1/2 cups bread flour
2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast

Put all ingredients into bread machine or follow your user's manual for a 2 lb loaf of white bread.

Pumpkin Spice Pancakes

Another fat free pancake recipe. I made these for breakfast this morning. Seasonal and very delicious, especially with apple butter and maple syrup. 

Wet Ingredients: 

1.5 cups almond milk
1 cup pumpkin purée
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
3 tbsp honey 

2 teaspoons flaxseed meal and 1/4 cup hot water (mix together first, then add to the rest of the wet ingredient mixture.) 

Dry Ingredients: 

1 cup whole wheat flour 
1 cup all purpose flour 
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ginger

1/2 teaspoon salt 
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

1.) Mix the wet and dry ingredients separately, then together. 

2.) Cook a few minutes per side in a frying pan or on a griddle on low heat using spray canola oil. (Or just use a non-stick pan if you want to be totally fat free.)
