Gluten Free Pumpkin Chai Spice Loaf

What a pumpkin frenzy it has become this holiday season!  I love it.

Today seemed like the perfect day to (finally!) share my delicious Pumpkin Chai Spice Loaf recipe.  I created this almost 2 weeks ago and have now finally had the time to post it, pics and all.

Pumpkin Chai Spice Loaf

Needless to say, it was yummy.  Yummy in my tummy. 

This egg and dairy-free creation is best when slathered with the Vanilla Icing I posted in my last recipe for Pumpkin Spiced Scones.  Sprinkle some toasted pepitas (pumpkin seeds) on top and you're good to go.

This was quite the warm little treat, perfect for breakfast or with a nice big mug of Chai Spice Tea.    As soon as the hubby came home, he was greeted with the warm, sweet scent of Cinnamon and Clove dancing in the air and fat piece of this creation placed on a plate and calling his name.

He was a happy camper.  I know you will be too.

This loaf was made using Wholesome Chow's Lively Chai Spice Cake Mix.  You can purchase it online with free shipping on our Variety 8 Packs.  The perfect gift for this holiday season.


And here we go!
