Ingredients

For the topping:

  • ½ cup almond flour
  • 3 tablespoons coconut flour
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil room temperature
  • ¼ cup plain or vanilla rice or pea protein powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon whole psyllium husks
  • Pinch of kosher or fine sea salt
  • ¼ cup xylitol or coconut sugar
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond or other non-dairy milk

For the filling:

  • 2 cups butternut squash puree homemade or canned
  • Zest of ½ large or 1 small lemon
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cardamom optional
  • Pinch of cloves or nutmeg
  • Pinch of kosher or fine sea salt
  • ¼ cup xylitol or coconut sugar to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line an 8-inch loaf pan with parchment paper or spray with gluten-free nonstickcooking spray.

Make the topping:

  •  In the bowl of a food processor, combine all ingredients, except the milk, until crumbly. Add the milk and pulse several times until the mixture begins to form little clumps (if too dry, add a tiny splash more milk). Scrape out of the processor and set aside.

Make the filling:

  • In the same processor bowl (no need to wash it), combine all the filling ingredients and blend well. Pour the filling into the pan and sprinkle with the topping.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the topping is browned in spots. Cool slightly before serving. Top with dairy-free yogurt or whipped cream, if desired.
