I'm a Pumpkin Lover!

    
     Fall is just around the corner and the stores, bakeries and fast food place are already putting out the pumpkin treats from donuts, creamers to lattes. I love just about everything pumpkin, especially during the fall.  Living in the south I miss out on the color change in the Autumn which I absolutely love.  I refuse to miss out on the flavors of pumpkin this season just because I have to eat differently to stay well.  So this weekend I tried a new recipe. 
     With going gluten, dairy, & egg free and with only an exception of a tiny bit of raw sugar on occasions it makes it very difficult to find pumpkin things that are compliant with my new life style.  So in the coming weeks I am on a mission to find some pumpkin treats I can eat or drink in small moderations this fall season.  
     I came across a recipe for a pumpkin bread typed treat made in a bundt pan.  The recipe only has 2 ingredients so I new it would be fairly safe on it being compliant. Here is the link: http://www.realfoodallergyfree.com/2011/11/two-ingredient-pumpkin-bread-with-apple-cider-glaze/. 
     I opted out of making the apple cider glaze this time around but will make the full recipe again closer to the holiday time.  I however did add cinnamon & nutmeg to the batter. No exact amounts just till I could taste them.  

My review:
Recipe is very simple to make
Smells delicious just like fall. 
Tastes good & very pumpkiney 
It's dense so if you were expecting a big plump cake/bread this isn't it.  
It's a little on the chewy side, not sure if Apple cider glaze would make a difference once drizzled on but Im sure it would be a great finishing touch either way.  

Overall I liked it and will make it again especially with the glaze.  One thing for sure with being GF, DF & EF you have to learn to adjust your palate and taste buds because things will look, taste, & feel much different than what your used to.  


Feel free to share with me your favorite pumpkin recipes.
