Baking season has arrived with the autumn chill, and we have something wonderful to warm your kitchen and delight your senses! These beautiful loaves offer a delicious and exotic twist with the use of some of the same spices traditionally blended into curries. Tender pistachios and crystallized ginger add just the right amount of texture and zing for a unique dessert bread that might just make it permanently into your fall baking rotation. Move over, pumpkin spice!
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Coat the bottom and sides of 2 loaf pans (9x5) with coconut oil.
2. In a large bowl, whisk the dry ingredients together (first 9 ingredients listed). Set aside.
3. In a separate large bowl, whisk the eggs until just loosely mixed. Add the maple syrup, vanilla and sugar. Whisk vigorously until the mixture is smooth. Drizzle in the coconut oil whisking constantly until completely incorporated. Stir in the mashed squash until smooth.
4. Carefully pour squash mixture over flour mixture. Stir gently just until you have a smooth batter with no dry spots. Fold in the crystallized ginger and pistachios.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pans. (Optional: sprinkle each loaf with 1 tablespoon sugar) Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 50 to 65 minutes. Let the bread cool in the pan for at least 20 minutes, then use a butter knife to loosen the bread from the sides the pan. Gently turn out the loaves on a wire rack and let them cool completely before slicing.
