More About The Best Flourless Pumpkin Loaf

Okay, so I’ve been following keto principles for about 11 years, and I have to tell you, if it wasn’t for the dessert lineup – I never would have lost 150 pounds. I probably wouldn’t have lasted a week:)

I’m going to level with you here—I am not a “natural” in the kitchen. Which is to say that most days, I’d rather light myself on fire than cook.

My love for decadent desserts at night is the only desire that trumps my disdain for anything kitchen-related. If you can relate, then you will appreciate the simplicity of this pumpkin bread recipe.

You’ll love the texture (it’s like legit cake:). You’ll love that no special ingredients are necessary (so you don’t have to go on a crazed grocery store scavenger hunt that ends in sadness and defeat.) And you’ll love that your non-keto friends, even those secretly judging you for having the nerve to be healthy, will ask you for the recipe – because it’s that damn good.

Tips For Making The Best Pumpkin Bread

Check your pan. Make sure you grease the pan generously or use parchment paper. Otherwise, half of the loaf will be stuck in the pan. (See photographic evidence below:)

Use canned pumpkin puree. You can make your own, but the canned versions are thick and create a nice consistency. Plus, it’s a time saver:)

Chill. Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing. (It should take 30 minutes to an hour before transferring to a baking rack.)

Variations To Customize This Keto Pumpkin Bread with Almond Flour

  • Mix in half a cup of chopped walnuts or pecans
  • Mix in pumpkin seeds for texture
  • Top with pumpkin seeds, coconut flakes, or sugar-free chocolate chips 
  • Add a teaspoon of cinnamon to the bread 
  • Make muffins instead of bread

Description

Easy, healthy, and moist keto pumpkin bread with almond flour is an epically delicious and universally healthy sweet Fall treat that is sugar-free, gluten-free, vegan friendly, WW and Paleo approved, and, of course, low carb!


Ingredients

Scale

2 cups almond flour

1/4 cup granulated Swerve

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

1 can pumpkin puree

3 eggs (or flax eggs)

Cream Cheese Frosting 

4 ounces cream cheese, softened

2 1/2 tablespoons butter, softened

1 teaspoon vanilla

½ teaspoon cinnamon

½ cup confectioners Swerve


Instructions

Preheat your oven to 325 F, and grease or line a standard loaf pan with parchment paper.

Using a stand or hand mixer, combine the dry ingredients.

Stir 2 cups almond flour, ¼ cup sweetener, 1 tablespoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon sea salt, and 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice.

As you go, you may have to scrape the sides of the bowl and combine the almond flour with the other dry ingredients. Also, watch for lumps and smash them as you go. (Big Bonus – this doubles as stress relief.:)

Add the can of pumpkin puree and the 3 eggs and stir until completely smooth. Then, pour the mixture into the loaf pan.

Bake on your oven’s center rack for one hour or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.

Cool for 30 minutes, then transfer to a baking rack and let cool completely (so it doesn’t break apart:)

You can store the pumpkin bread in parchment paper (not plastic wrap) in the refrigerator for up to five days.

For the Cream Cheese Glaze, combine the 4 ounces of cream cheese, 2 ½ tablespoons butter, 1 teaspoon vanilla, and cinnamon with a hand mixer. Slowly add in the ½ cup sweetener.

Frost the bread, unapologetically lick the bowl if that’s your thing, and pat yourself on the back for making healthy homemade bread happen – from scratch.
