• 1/4

  cup
  2 Tbs. pumpkin puree

• 1
  
  cup melted coconut oil (or you can replace this with vegetable oil)

  wedge of Brie – enough for everybody eating to have a couple thin slices
  

Directions

1. Heat your oven to 350F. Grease a 9X5 loaf pan.
2. In one bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
3. In a large bowl, beat together the pumpkin, oil, sugars, and salt until well blended. Beat in the eggs one at a time, beating until completely incorporated. Stir in the dry ingredients just until blended.
4. Scrape the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake until a toothpick stuck into the bread comes out clean, about an hour.
5. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 20 minutes before removing it. Serve thick warm slices topped with pieces of the Brie. You can also toast leftovers and serve with Brie.
