    How to make this recipe

    First, start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees F (180 C). Then grease and line the bottom and sides of a loaf pan with parchment paper.

    In a large bowl, mix the flour, salt, and baking powder.

    Add the cubed pumpkin, melted coconut oil, eggs, vanilla extract, salt, sugar, desiccated coconut, and spices to a blender and blend until smooth.

    Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and gently combine everything.
