Prepare the Pumpkin: Start by cutting the top off the pumpkin and removing the seeds. Peel and cut the pumpkin into slices. This step can be a little time-consuming, so take your time to ensure you’re cutting through to get all that sweet flesh.

Boil the Pumpkin: Place the sliced pumpkin into a pot of boiling water and cook until soft, which usually takes about 15-20 minutes. You’ll know it’s ready when you can easily pierce it with a fork.

Make the Purée: Drain the pumpkin and transfer it to a blender. Blend until you achieve a smooth purée. If using fresh ginger, add it to the purée now and mix well. Adjust the ginger amount based on your preference for spice.

Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the oat flour, salt, and pumpkin spice. This is where the lovely autumn aroma begins to fill your kitchen!

Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Add the pumpkin purée to the dry ingredients and stir until you form a dough. If the mixture is too sticky to work with, feel free to gradually add more oat flour until it reaches a workable consistency.

Shape the Dough: Roll the dough into a cylinder shape and cut it into eight equal parts. Take each piece and shape it into a ball before flattening it into discs.

Cook the Bread: Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Cook the discs for a few minutes on each side, until they are golden brown and cooked through. The smell will be enticing, so enjoy it!

Serve and Enjoy: Best enjoyed warm, you can serve your Oat Pumpkin Bread as is or with a spread of butter. It’s also great with a drizzle of honey or a dusting of powdered sugar.
