Preparation

  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together oat flour, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin spice, and sea salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top.
  6. In a small bowl, mix chopped nuts, oat flour, pumpkin spice, melted coconut oil, and maple syrup until crumbly.
  7. Sprinkle the nut crumble topping over the batter and bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Let the bread cool for 30 minutes before slicing.

For best flavor, use fresh ingredients like high-quality oat flour and maple syrup. Allow ingredients to come to room temperature for smoother mixing.
