• Preheat oven to 360°f (180°c). Wash the pumpkin and cut it into pieces (keep the skin on) then put in the blender or food processor.
• Mix flour, baking powder, nuts and seeds, spices. Add grated pumpkin, oil, cheese and eggs. Salt and pepper, then pour into a loaf pan lined with parchment paper.
