To make this even more exciting for me, I’ve teamed up with my friends at Simple Mills for a tasty giveaway of their Pumpkin Muffin and Chocolate Muffin mixes!
Now before we get to giveaway, I’m going to tease you with a quick recipe (part 1 of a very special recipe I’m sharing as part of this team-up with Simple Mills). We’re going to start by taking the muffin mix and simply turning it into a loaf of bread. I guess if you really wanted you could stop there and enjoy a couple slices but I assure you, you’re going to want to see what I have in store for you on Wednesday, so don’t touch that loaf! 😉
One of the things I LOVE about Simple Mills is how they’re a baking mix that fits perfectly within the parameters of my diet and how I eat for my health (at least the majority of the time): grain-free, gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, low-carb, and paleo! But I assure you, full of flavor and you will never miss all of those other ingredients!
This may seem like a no-brainer to take the muffin mix and turn it into a bread, but since there weren’t specific directions on the box, I had to figure it out.
How to make Paleo Pumpkin Bread:
- Pre-heat over to 350* as directed.
- Prepare mix to box directions with the same amount of eggs, water and oil.
- Spray a loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray (I used coconut oil spray) and pour in your batter.
- Bake for 45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Let cool and don’t eat!
That last direction will probably be the hardest for you but I assure you, you want to wait until to see Wednesday’s recipe… 😉
For now, enter the giveaway below and check out Simple Mills website to see where you can get their mixes. Also don’t forget to check out the other bloggers involved in Pumpkin Week 2015 and share your favorite pumpkin recipes on Instagram! You can find me @iamkatiearnold!

I’ve never made bread before – I’m going to be on the look out for this pumpkin mix, I can’t wait to see the recipe you come up with 🙂

Pumpkin anything sounds delicious, but I would like to try the pumpkin muffins!
I love, love the idea of the chocolate muffin mix. I saw a recipe to turn it into chocolate cake, and that makes me happy to the bottom of my toes!
They had me at pumpkin muffins! Yum! I’ve never baked with almond flour, so a pre-made mix would be a great way to experiment with that. Thanks for the giveaway!
The vanilla cake sounds great!
