GLUTEN-FREE PUMPKIN BREAD
by Dr. Axe
This is a great paleo favorite from draxe.com. 100% real maple syrup is the sweetener in this recipe. While it is not ketogenic, it is still paleo and blood glucose and insulin friendly. Our approach at Genesis is the "Good, Better or Best Principle, depending on where you are in your plan. We can't always make the best food decisions, but there are ingredients that are good, or some better, than anything you could buy off of the shelf or make yourself with grains and sugar. When you need something special or are tempted to cheat a little, make better choices instead of falling back on your old habits. This recipe falls under a maintenance recipe.
