The honey not only lends flavor to this bread, but also draws water to the bread, keeping it moist longer! Fresh pumpkin also creates a better flavor. This bread is healthy and immensely nutritious.

INGREDIENTS:

· 1/3 cup melted coconut oil or extra-virgin olive oil

· 10 HONEYSTICK (½ cup honey)

· 2 eggs

· 1 cup pumpkin purée

· 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

· ½ teaspoon salt

· ½ teaspoon cinnamon, plus more to swirl on top

· ½ teaspoon ginger

· ¼ teaspoon nutmeg

· ¼ teaspoon allspice or cloves

· 1¾ cups regular whole wheat flour

· 1 teaspoon baking soda*

· ¼ cup hot water*

INSTRUCTIONS:

Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit (165 degrees Celsius) and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
In a large bowl, beat oil and honey together. Add eggs, and beat well.
Stir in pumpkin purée and vanilla, then the salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and allspice. Stir in flour, just until combined
Add baking soda to hot water, stir to mix, and then mix briefly into batter until it is evenly distributed. Spread batter into the greased loaf pan.
Sprinkle with cinnamon, and swirl with the tip of a table knife for a pretty marbled effect.
Bake for 60 to 65 minutes. Let the bread cool in the loaf pan for 5 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool for 30 minutes before slicing.

NOTES

*If you prefer, you can just stir in ¼ cup water or milk (any kind) into the oil/honey/eggs and whisk the baking soda in with the spices
