Fall Pumpkin Bread

The 'pumpkin spice' trend is showing no signs of slowing down, so we thought we'd jump on the bandwagon with a refined sugar-free version. As always, this date syrupified version turned out so much better than the original, adding a depth of flavor from medjool dates both through the syrup and through tiny chunks of medjools. This bread is perfect as breakfast, dessert, or just a holiday snack. We love it topped with thick coconut yogurt, toasted pumpkin seeds, and an extra drizzle of Just Date Syrup (of course).
