She used fresh pumpkin, cut it up in big chunks first, remove the seeds and then place down on a baking sheet filled with a little water. Bake at 200C/390F for about 30 minutes or until the flesh is soft and scoopable. Cool, scoop out flesh and process until smooth.

👇About 12 slices - serving size 1 slice = about 15g carbs

INGREDIENTS:
* 1 1/2 cups spelt flour (sub gluten-free or whole wheat flour)
* 1 tsp baking soda
* 1/2 tsp baking powder
* 2 tsp ground cinnamon
* 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
* 1/2 tsp ground ginger
* 1/2 tsp salt
* 2 tsp orange zest
* 2 eggs (flax eggs for vegan)
* 1 cup pumpkin puree
* 1/3 cup coconut oil
* 1/4 cup orange juice
* 1/2 cup maple syrup
* 1 tsp vanilla extract
* 1/4 cup chopped walnuts

METHOD:
In a large bowl combine all the dry ingredients (or first 7 ingredients) and mix together.

In a separate large bowl, beat your eggs or make your flax eggs. Add maple syrup, orange juice and vanilla extract and whisk together until combined. Whisk in the pumpkin purée and coconut oil.

Add your pumpkin mixture to the dry mixture and mix together with a wooden spoon. Pour your batter into a greased and floured bread pan. Add chopped walnuts on top and drizzle 1 tablespoon of maple syrup over the nuts. Bake at 180c/350f for about 40 minutes or until done in the middle.

Allow to cool and then remove from bread pan. Slice and spread spiced coconut cream ( whisk together coconut cream, cinnamon, orange zest, vanilla, drizzle maple syrup) or cinnamon cream cheese.

Diabetes Friendly Recipes 

Diabetes-friendly recipes prioritise balanced nutrition, focusing on foods that help manage blood sugar levels. These recipes include lean proteins like grilled chicken or fish, whole grains such as quinoa or brown rice, and plenty of non-starchy vegetables like spinach, broccoli, and capsicum. Healthy fats from sources like avocados, nuts, and olive oil are also incorporated. Snacks might include Greek yoghurt with fresh berries or a handful of almonds, while breakfast options could feature oats topped with fruit and flaxseeds.

Following a diabetes-friendly diet is crucial for people managing diabetes because it helps maintain stable blood sugar levels, reducing the risk of spikes and crashes that can lead to complications. Consistently managing blood sugar levels through diet can prevent long-term complications such as heart disease, kidney damage, and nerve issues. Additionally, these diets can help with weight management, which is particularly important for people with type 2 diabetes, enhancing overall health and wellbeing.
