Here are our ingredients for today:
1 c. whole wheat flour
1/4 c. almond flour/meal
1/4 c. ground flax meal
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 T. potato starch
1/2 c. egg beaters
1/2 c. unsweetened applesauce
1/4 c. almond milk
2/3 c. agave
1 c. pumpkin puree, NOT pie filling
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. allspice
1 tsp. nutmeg
1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
So before we begin, if you are not familiar with almond flour, flax meal or potato starch, let me tell you about them. Ground Flax Meal is ground up flax, which is very good for you. You can use it to replace 1/4 - 1/2 c of flour in baking recipes. You also can use it to replace eggs and fats. Almond Flour is flour is skinless, blanched, finely ground almonds. It's low in carbs and a good source of protein, fiber, vitamin E and magnesium. Potato starch helps in baking to make a moist crumb. All of these Items are Gluten Free and can normally be found in the baking section with the allergen free baking items.
Pre-heat your oven to 350 while you are mixing everything together.

Pre-heat your oven to 350 while you are mixing everything together.
Start by whisking the dry ingredients (the first six off the list) together in a medium sized bowl.
In the bowl of your stand mixer, add all of the wet ingredients, and mix until they are well combined.
Bake for 50 minutes. I use the knife test to check if things are done. Remember not to over bake...things continue to cook once they come out of the oven.
Enjoy! Steph :)
