Anavii Cooking Recipe: Chocolate Pumpkin Hemp Bread

By Meredith Dykstra

Fall is officially in full swing, and we are thrilled to share a delicious and festive Pumpkin Hemp bread recipe with you. This moist and satisfying healthy treat provides a dose of fall flavor with a nutrient dense boost from our Anavii Hemp Protein Powder, the perfect secret ingredient to change up the traditional fall recipe. The bread is easy to make, gluten and grain-free, and filled with seasonal spices to invoke all the fall feels. It’s extra tasty served warm and smeared with grass-fed butter or dolloped with whipped coconut cream for dessert, or it can be enjoyed with fresh berries and garnished with hemp seeds or spread with hemp butter for breakfast. Yummo!

Plant-Based Protein Power

In case you don’t know, hemp protein is a unique complete protein (like the protein structure found in egg whites), meaning it contains significant levels of the nine essential amino acids that our bodies are unable to produce on their own. With each package of our All-American grown and processed Anavii Hemp Protein Powder containing 240 grams of protein (and 3 grams of protein per tablespoon), you can easily meet your daily protein needs. 

Hemp protein is not as processed as many other protein powders available on the market, and is great for those following plant-based, gluten-free, or ketogenic diets (or for those who don’t believe in diets, too). The simplicity of our hemp protein powder can’t be beat with just ONE pure ingredient: hemp hearts (aka hulled hemp seeds). Moreover, since hemp protein doesn’t have a distinct flavor, it’s an excellent addition to many recipes to increase nutrition, like this delicious pumpkin hemp bread recipe. We also love adding the Anavii Hemp Protein Powder into our smoothie bowls, cereal, oatmeal, chia pudding, yogurts, baked goods, casseroles, and more!

Hemp seeds and hemp protein offer the ideal balance of Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids which supports cardiovascular health and are high in gamma linoleic acid (GLA), which can support hormone balance.  Hemp is considered a perfect protein source because it contains all twenty amino acids as well as the nine essential amino acids mentioned which help repair muscle cells, regulate the nervous system, and regulate brain function.  Hemp is also a wonderful source of fiber, phytonutrients like iron, magnesium, zinc, potassium, manganese, and calcium, and vitamins E, B6, B3, B2, B1, D and A. Talk about a dietary powerhouse.

You can consume hemp seeds in two ways: straight up with the shells removed or as a powder made from the pulverized seeds. This recipe contains hemp in these two basic forms: Anavii’s pure hemp protein powder and the hulled hemp seeds for an extra boost, because why not get a little more hemp into your life? 😊

We hope you enjoy this festive and nutrient dense recipe as much as we do. Hemp, hemp, hooray for fall!
