• 2⁄3 egg

• 1⁄8 cup unsweetened apple sauce

• 1 tbsp coconut oil melted

• 3¼ oz. pumpkin puree

• ¼ tbsp butter or coconut oil, for greasing the pan

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a bread pan, 8.5" inches (about 11 x 21 cm), with butter or oil.

1. Mix together all dry ingredients in a bowl.

2. Stir together egg, apple sauce, pumpkin puree and oil in a bowl and mix into a smooth batter with the dry ingredients.
