You all should know something. I bought a new computer. I took the plunge and bought a Mac. That’s some expensive sh*t right there. It pretty much cost the same as my first car…which is the same car I have now. As you can tell, I don’t love to spend a ton of money. Unless it’s on something that’s covered in chocolate or cooked to a medium rare. But this was a must. Gotta feed you. Gotta blog. Gotta annoy you daily.
I still don’t know how to use it. And I’m not going to try to teach myself. Because then I’d just miss out on so many possibilities. I may even start making some cooking videos again. More embarrassment to share for the world wide web. Like I haven’t ruined my name enough as it is.
So I had big plans for this weekend. BIG plans. I didn’t have to work at the gym so I planned on doing something crazy. Like drink heavily and sleep in the next day. Especially because it was my friend Sarah’s 30th birthday. And this girl looks RIDICULOUS for being 30. It makes me wish I was 30. If my ass EVER looks like that, my life will be complete. But my ass didn’t even look that good before puberty hit and genetics took over. So my life may stay incomplete. I guess I’m cool with that.
But you know what birthdays mean…it means it’s time to drink. And get far more drunk than the person’s birthday it is. Well not really, it means eat delicious food to me. But I thought it would be a good weekend to consume alcohol. I was wrong. Found that out when my stomach decided to take on a stomach bug. How the hell did I get that? I definitely didn’t eat anything weird. Definitely haven’t been making out with anyone to catch something from them. It’s bullish*t. I should not have to take on any sort of illness that makes my insides feel like they are flipping inside out unless I make the conscious decision to make out with someone who has the same sketch illness.
I feel single frustration rants coming on. I feel em’.
What in the hell am I going to be for Halloween?
Pumpkin Bread French Toast
- Yield: 2-3 1x
Ingredients
For the bread
- 1 cup pepitas
- 1/3 cup pumpkin puree
- 6 dried dates, pitted
- 3 eggs
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
- 3 tablespoons Raw Honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- pinch of salt
To make it into french toast
- 1/3 cup canned coconut milk
- 1 egg, whisked
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- pinch of cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
Instructions
- Preheat over to 375 degrees.
- First we gotta roast those pepitas. Place a tablespoon of coconut oil in a medium sized pan over medium. Toss your pepitas in and roast on all sides for about 3 minutes or until lightly browned and fragrant.
- Now add your pepitas to afood processor and process them down until they become a flour.
- Add your dates and puree.
- Then add your pumpkin puree, coconut flour, coconut oil, honey, vanilla extract, eggs, and all other ingredients for your bread. Puree it all up until smooth.
- Grease a loaf pan with some coconut oil, pour in mixture and bake for 30-35 minutes.
- Let cool.
- When pumpkin bread has cooled, whisk together your french toast ingredients (minus the coconut oil) in a shallow bowl.
- Heat up a skillet or griddle and add your coconut oil to it.
- Cut your bread into 1/2-1 inch slices, dip them in your egg mixture on both sides, then place on griddle to cook for 2-3 minutes per side.
- Top french toast off with maple syrup and grass fed butter (or coconut butter for dairy free) because that’s what all french toast should be topped with.
- Consume it. Thank the world that it’s fall. And love life.

Looks tasty! And in my opinion i think you should be a throwback character…like Flash Dance era! I can totally see you rockin’ a headband, off the shoulder long shirt, tights, and leg warmers! Don’t forget to pouf the hair!!
must try this recipe!
How do you cook the pumpkin guts to use instead of seeds? I forgot to get seeds. Also, I can’t use baking soda or powder because of the paleo challenge I am on…..will it still turn out ok?
Just roast the pumpkin in the oven until soft. But you’ll need pumpkin seeds OR some sort of nut butter instead of the seeds. About 2/3 cup
I got pepitas and just finished making it and it smells and tastes great! I can’t wait to make French toast out of it! Thank you so much for your recipes and blog!!!
The canned coconut milk was very thick….not sure if something was wrong with it. I couldn’t use baking soda or powder until the challenge is over. Are there any substitutes for that?
So I just made this… my batter was more the consistency of nut butter…. Did I do something wrong?
Eggs!! I totally messed up on writing in the eggs! It’s updated now!
Me too. Flavor is good but I feel like I missed an important step. Ive made paleo breads before and i know they dont really rise but This one didn’t rise AT ALL! I have a thick dense flat thingy. So I’ve kinda just been eating at it all day with a spoon haha. What did I do wrong?!
Hmmmm…did you use eggs and/or baking soda/baking powder? Those two things would be what made it rise.
I’m trying it again, too good to not!
Ohh you didn’t have eggs in it at first!! Ok must make again!
This bread is seriously the best thing ever… i switched out the honey for 1/2tsp liquid stevia… maybe should have added some water as my batter was a cookie consistency. But holy shiz nautical bam bam wow tasty!!! thankyou!
I love this bread toast. This recipe made my day. I love cooking paleo recipes. I’ve been on paleo diet for sometime now. This bread toast is amazing. Yummy!!!
These look a little dense/heavy, are they kind of fluffy or light??? I love french toast!!!… bought myself a huge can of pumpkin puree to try all these delicious pumpkin recipes…
I’d say in between!
This looks like my kind of baking! Can’t wait to try it. But, hey I’m 31 and look better than ever and am having more fun than ever! When people say that someone looks great for 30, it is obv they have no clue what wonderful things they’re in for. 30 is super young. And maturity, not the getting old and booring kind of maturity, is very attractive on a woman. Many of us take a little time to grow into our ass-ets!
Thank you once again for another nut free recipe! I am eating some right now that I made into cookies! I had to make some substitutions since I didn’t have dates (just added a bit more pumpkin and sweetener) and can’t use honey (I used liquid stevia) but they turned out great!
