Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
½ cup coconut palm sugar
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¾ teaspoon ground ginger
¾ teaspoon ground cardamom
1 cup pumpkin puree or make your own
½ cup coconut oil
2 large eggs
½ cup apple sauce
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 - 3 tablespoons Calvados or any Apple Brandy optional and according to taste
1 tablespoon turbinado or raw sugar optional

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 ˚F. Butter a loaf pan.
Whisk together the flour, coconut palm sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and spices.
Melt the coconut oil in the microwave. It just takes about 15 seconds with mine. Using a large balloon whisk or a standing mixer, combine the pumpkin, coconut oil, eggs, apple sauce, vanilla extract and Apple Brandy (if using) together until all of the ingredients are well mixed.
Add the dry ingredients by folding them in with a spatula until completely incorporated into the wet ingredients. The batter will be thick. Pour into the buttered loaf pan and sprinkle with the turbinado sugar (for crunch).
Bake on the center rack for one hour, or until a testing probe can be inserted in the middle and come out clean. Allow to cool in the loaf pan for 10 minutes before removing.
To remove, run a knife all around the edges and turn it upside down. It's really that easy.
