Sprouted Pumpkin Bread
Pumpkin bread is one of my favorite fall treats, and it’s more than just delicious – it’s packed with nutrients that do wonders for your health, especially your skin. Pumpkins are rich in carotenoids like beta-carotene, which your body converts into vitamin A. In fact, just one cup (245 grams) of cooked pumpkin delivers a whopping 245% of your daily recommended intake of vitamin A!But the benefits don’t stop there. Pumpkins also contain essential nutrients that promote heart health, including vitamins B1, B6, and C, as well as copper, fiber, folate, and manganese.When baking, I’ve discovered that sprouted spelt flour works beautifully – it’s lighter and less dense than sprouted whole wheat flour, making it perfect for cakes and cookies. You can even find it at stores like Costco and Sprouts!
