Pumpkin and Nut Bun

This pumpkin and nut bun is a wonderfully moist and naturally sweet treat, perfect for cozy autumn days. The combination of pumpkin, honey, and nuts gives it a rich flavor, while spelt flour makes it a wholesome option. Enjoy it as a snack, with tea or coffee, or as a light dessert!


Ingredients

  • 500 g grated pumpkin
  • 2 eggs
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 50 g ground nuts (walnuts or almonds work best)
  • 100 g spelt flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

Procedure

1. Prepare the dry ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, combine spelt flour, ground nuts, and baking powder.

2. Prepare the wet ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs with honey until well combined. Stir in the grated pumpkin.

3. Mix the batter:
Gradually add the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring until smooth and well incorporated.

4. Bake:
Preheat the oven to 180 °C (356 °F). Pour the batter into a greased or lined baking tin and bake for about 25 minutes, or until golden brown and firm to the touch.


Final Tip

For extra texture and flavor, sprinkle chopped nuts or pumpkin seeds on top before baking. You can also add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for a warm, spiced touch. Serve warm or at room temperature with a drizzle of honey or yogurt for an extra treat!
