Healthy Pumpkin Seed Blender Bread Recipe (paleo, GAPS)

If you can't do nut-based breads, try this pumpkin seed blender bread: just toss into a high speed blender and blend away!

So, pumpkin seeds have been our thing as of late.

I haven’t wanted to try giving the kids almonds. I actually did give them a bite of homemade almond bread during the early part of the GAPS Intro Diet, but wasn’t brave enough to give it twice.

But pumpkin seeds, I could do.

So I messed around a little while with the recipe, and here it is.

  • Gluten-free
  • Grain-free
  • Nut-free
  • Dairy-free option
  • Egg-white-free option
  • Refined-sugar-free
  • Pretty stinkin’ yummy, to boot

Pumpkin Seed Blender Bread – Paleo, GAPS

Ingredients

Equipment

Just dump everything in your blender or food processor, blend, and bake! MMM!!!

Instructions

  1. This is so simple! Combine all ingredients in blender or food processor, and blend/process until the seeds are thoroughly blended into the mixture. If you’re using a high-speed blender, start at low and work your way up to high speed. It will turn quite thick and pasty – that’s okay! Scrape with a spatula/spoon into a greased bread pan.
  2. Bake at 350 for 1 hour. It’s done when a knife or toothpick inserted will come out clean. Allow to cool. Drizzle each slice with a little honey before serving.

Notes

You can add a banana in there if you want to! Or any fruit or dried fruit.

Enjoy!

    • Thanks Giselle! Well, this bread only has pumpkin seeds in it, but you could definitely add some pumpkin puree to it, I bet it would be fabulous! Thanks for stopping by! <3

  1. This sounds delicious, Danielle! I don’t know if I could ever get my kids to leave pumpkin seeds alone in order to make it, though. Haha. Thanks for sharing this at Savoring Saturdays! 😉

  2. Can’t wait to try this bread. I have been making my own pumpkin and sunflower seed flours lately for baking. I just made some really good crackers, and am interested in trying your bread recipe!

    • Hi Cecily! I have a post coming up soon about that, but in the meantime, here’s what you do: soak some raw seeds (no shells!) in water and add a couple teaspoons sea salt. Soak overnight, and then you can dehydrate them until dry, or you can set your oven on its lowest setting and dry that way. This helps neutralize some anti-nutrients and enzyme inhibitors that make the seeds more difficult to digest.

  4. HI! I’m an almost 18 year old teenage girl with a massive GI problem, leaving me alone with very few things to eat. I’m so happy I saw this recipe and I am now making some right now! Yesterday I made some pumpkin pie filling using this recipe but replaced the seeds for two cups of pumpkin puree! It’s amazing!! I bought some seeds today and now I can’t wait to take the loaf out of the oven! Thank you!

    • Hi Joelle! I’m so glad you’re trying it out! And I am so sorry to hear about your GI problem. It’s good to know you’re eating clean – that is where the healing begins. Have you ever heard of the Paleo, GAPS, or AIP protocol for gut healing? Just thought I’d ask. Best wishes and prayers for your full recovery. <3

  5. If I add a banana to make it banana bread, does it change the consistency? Make it too soggy? Or should I add a tsp of coconut flour to keep it from becoming mush when it bakes?

  6. Just made this with 1/2 cup applesauce and the gelatin egg white replacement, and it looks even better than last time when I made it with eggs! I’m sure it’ll taste great, too, but the rise is so much better. It actually looks like a normal loaf of bread! I also only had to cook mine about 42min. Not sure if it was the difference of the egg or maybe my oven runs hot. Anyway, we love this bread.
