Rosemary Paleo Pumpkin Bread Nutrition

– The IMPRESSIVE  nerdy nutrition facts.

This bread is like the perfect post workout snack. Yep! Cooked pumpkin has more potassium than a banana. GASP! So it’s great for balancing those electrolytes.

• Canned pumpkin puree (not the pie filling ya’ll) is packed with TONS of vitamins. In fact, it contains one of my favorite. Yep, 50 percent of the daily value of vitamin K,. You know I love my Vitamin K for metabolism and bone health. I boasted about it with that mustardy Brussel sprouts recipe. Remember?
• 1 cup pumpkin contains 246% Vitamin A. DUDE! That is an impressive amount of an antioxidants. Your eyes will thank you!

Hey Cotter,inquiring minds want to know…

Is paleo bread low carb?

Great news! Paleo baking is usually grain free and gluten free!! So, unless you add a lot of sugar to a paleo bread recipe, it’s more than likely going to be lower in carbs than traditional bread.

Now about that rosemary.. I did not forget.

Yes, Rosemary is just as AMAZIN for your health!

Facts about Rosemary

Rosemary, the “SUPER” herb, contains certain substances, such as flavonoids and volatile oils, that are useful for:

• boosting the immune system
• increasing blood flow and circulation
• improving digestion.  Rosemary also contains anti-inflammatory properties that can help reduce respiratory problems. This is why many people love using the (essential oil Rosemary oil). While I have not tried this oil yet myself, but I have heard it does help reduce symptoms for people with digestive problems as well as respiratory problems, such as asthma. Ahhh Breathe Happy ya’ll!! Rosemary essential oil on my list to try next!

So ya, this Rosemary Paleo Pumpkin Bread recipe is loaded with SUPER nutrients, but it’s only part of the reason I made it. Okay I lie, it’s 85%.

The truth is, our lifestyle has changed drastically over the past year.

My husband retired from pro triathlon racing into a full time “desk” job. Um, that wasn’t hard or anything (enter sarcasm).

Hard as it maybe have been, it was a good choice for us. That being said, I don’t make the same food for him. In fact, he’s lifting weights on a regular basis and craving a higher protein/fat foods. Yes, my endurance junky loving of a man is now in the GYM with dumb bells,  GASP!!

And me? Well, I took a step back from teaching fitness classes (and fitness in general) to have surgery, and am slowly easy back into things.

Gosh ya’ll, we’ve changed a lot. Our dietary needs have changed and so sometimes we GO BIG or go home, like say with… mmmm  paleo chocolate caramel.

But most of the time, like that 85% of the time, we’re focusing on nourishment and a little more protein packed into those meals. Plus ALL THE VEGGIES to boot! Yes, we need those healing foods! Oh and wine… I will always make room for wine.  Haha!

Needless to say, superfood gluten free recipes are here to stay. Easy, healthy, maybe paleoish, maybe veganish (or egg free if needed), maybe grain free, but always TASTY!

This Rosemary Paleo Pumpkin Bread recipe has become a great Fall bread staple. Grain free, dairy free, and great as breakfast or even with Paleo Chili.

But if you’re looking for the sweet pumpkin bread version, I highly recommend checking out Healthy Seasonal’s Healthy Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread.

Yep. SUPER! I mean SOOOOOOUPER! Alright, that’s enough puns for a Monday.

Let’s jump to this easy pumpkin quick bread recipe.

Notes

• NUTRITION Since this bread is pretty dense, I recommend using it as a meal or slice thinner for a side. Texture is amazing and filling! Nutritional info as shown is for thinner slices.
• If you are using a 8×4″ loaf pan, check the middle for doneness at 40 to 45 minutes since it will be in a smaller pan.
• This has a lovely rosemary taste. Feel free to reduce the “herbed” taste by using one sprig or two. You also use thyme or mix herbs.
• This a GREAT bread to serve with paleo Chili .
