Then add to the wet mixture the coconut sugar, pecans, baking powder, salt and green banana flour. Mix well.

notes
You can either boil or use roasted pumpkin. I usually use roasted pumpkin for this recipe as I prefer the enhanced flavour.
You can substitute walnuts, macadamias or almonds for the pecans.
Serve with grass-fed organic butter or, for a more indulgent afternoon tea, top with this lemon cashew cream and a sprinkle of extra nuts.
