Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 45 minutes
Total Time 1 hour
Servings 8 slices

Ingredients
  

  • Coconut Oil For oiling baking pan
  • 1 cup Persimmon Puree Banana or pumpkin puree can be substituted
  • 3 tbsp Maple Syrup Add more for increased sweetness
  • 1 tbsp Ground Cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp Ground Allspice
  • 1/2 tsp Ground Nutmeg
  • 1.5 cups Acorn Flour
  • 1/2 cup Rice Flour
  • 1/2 tsp Xanthan Gum optional
  • 1/4 tsp Kosher Salt
  • 1 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1/4 tsp Baking Powder

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350 °F, then prepare a 8.5x4.5 loaf pan by coating it with a neutral oil and lining it with parchment paper
  • Whisk together the wet ingredients: eggs, puree, syrup, and vanilla
  • In a separate bowl, combine the spices, acorn and rice flours, and Xanthan gum
  • Slowly add the dry ingredients from step #3 into the bowl containing the wet ingredients. Mix until smooth. Then, add the salt, baking soda and baking powder
  • Pour the mixture into the loaf pan and even out the top. The texture of this bread will not resemble typical quick breads. It will have the texture of a paste rather than a batter
  • Cook for approximately 40-45 minutes. Test for doneness by inserting a toothpick or a sharp paring knife into the center of the loaf. If it is clean once you remove it, the loaf is ready to be removed
  • Remove from the pan and allow it to cool for 30 minutes before slicing and serving
