Pumpkin Streusel Bread

I am in an epic amount of pain right now. 7 days off and then double workouts last Friday that looked like this,

“Ralph“

Four rounds for time of:
250 pound Deadlift, 8 reps (155# for me)
16 Burpees
15 foot Rope climb, 3 ascents
Run 600 meters

“Asstastic”

10RFT:
10 Squats
10 KB Swings (35#)
10 Pistols
10 Taters (35#)

have left me more sore than all 3 of my half marathons combined. I thought I avoided it Saturday morning when I got up and actually went to CrossFit that morning, but yesterday I got out of bed and practically fell down. Guess my muscles were a little slow on the uptake but they sure as hell made up for it in intensity. Sitting on the toilet and getting up off the couch pretty much require full out teeth gritting and a few choice 4 letter words right now.

So in an effort to forget the pain, I baked. Because streusel makes everything better.

Pumpkin + streusel should therefore have superhero healing powers as far as I’m concerned because that’s basically the best fall duo I can think of.

Paleo pumpkin bread

And those superhero powers will be needed because in honor of Veteran’s Day today, we’re doing Murph. Yep, 300 more squats and 2 miles of running along with ungodly amounts of pull-ups & push-ups.

Paleo pumpkin streusel bread

I think there are only 2 choices in this kind of predicament: worry about it all day and drive myself crazy or just eat the entire loaf in an attempt for those streusel healing powers to kick in.

I bet you can guess which one I’m going with.

More pumpkin treats to try this time of year:

Pumpkin raisin bagels are a fun way to spend a fall afternoon in the kitchen and the result will be a delicious batch of seasonal bagels to enjoy all week long.

Pumpkin granola is another paleo recipe that’s great in a yogurt bowl, or on top of a pumpkin banana smoothie bowl.

Pumpkin cranberry chocolate chip bars blend both the fall and winter seasons perfectly with their pumpkin taste and bright pop of cranberries in each bite.

Pair a slice of this pumpkin bread with some pumpkin spice hot cocoa and enjoy everything there is to love about fall!
