Hearty Amaranth Pumpkin Bread with Spices

1.Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.

2.In a large mixing bowl, combine the amaranth flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves. Whisk together until well mixed.

3.In another bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, honey, vegetable oil, and eggs until smooth and well combined.

4.Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

5.If using, fold in the chopped walnuts and raisins gently into the batter.

6.Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

7.Bake in the preheated oven for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

8.Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
