1 cup pumpkin puree
1/4 cup coconut milk or milk of choice

dash of salt
2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 cup stevia baking sugar (or brown sugar or coconut sugar)

Combine your wet ingredients first, mix then add in your dry. Mix batter until blended. pour in greased 9x5x3 bread pan or brownie pan will work too. Cook at 375F for about 30 minutes. Check a little earlier just in case your oven bakes faster.
