This is a Paleo Foundation Recipe by Angela Privin that uses Gerbs Allergy Friendly Pumpkin Seeds and Pumpkin Seed Meal.
Pumpkin seeds are the highest vegetarian source of zinc, which is incredibly supportive for the immune system (hello upcoming flu season)! They are also rich in magnesium, tryptophan, manganese, phosphorous and iron. I’ve been a fan of pumpkin seeds for years and am amazed that they don’t get the attention they deserve, so this recipe involves the use of Pumpkin Seed Flour (meal) to make Paleo Pumpkin Bread.
BAKING WITH PUMPKIN SEED FLOUR (also called “Meal”)
I follow a lot of Paleo recipe blogs and I’ve never seen anyone use pumpkin seed flour (meal) for baking. I aim to change that. Through my experiments I discovered that pumpkin seed flour can replace blanched almond flour to make Paleo “bread.” And it lends a rich and earthy taste to baked goods that might blow your pumpkin pickin’ mind. I based this recipe on my favorite “corn bread” recipe from the Unrefined Kitchen, but made lots of personal tweaks.

You can eat this bread with chili, use it as sandwich bread or eat it voraciously standing over the stove right after it comes out of the oven (not that I do that). Enjoy your fearless experiments with this nutritious and versatile flour!

Would love to try this. Any suggestions on a substitute for the almond flour (my daughter is allergic to peanuts and all tree nuts and more)?

I would suggest Brown Rice or Quinoa Flour … give it a go and let us know how it turns out!
