INSTRUCTIONS

Prep

Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line a loaf tin with parchment paper.

Mix

Mix all of the ingredients together (including the chocolate chips if you are using them) in a large bowl until smooth.

Bake

Pour the batter into the loaf tin and bake for an hour. (Insert a sharp knife into the center of the cake, if it comes out clean, the loaf is done.)

Rest

Let the loaf rest for 20 minutes before removing it from the tin. Then let the loaf cool on a rack before serving.

Tips & Tricks to Making a Perfect Keto Pumpkin Bread

  • Either use UNSWEETENED canned pumpkin puree, or try making your own from fresh, locally-sourced pumpkins. The flavor is unbeatable.
  • For the sake of the bread’s consistency and rise, accurately measure your ingredients, especially the almond flour and baking powder. Measurements when baking isn’t something you should “wing”.
  • The key to a scrumptious loaf is to thoroughly combine the ingredients until the batter is smooth. It ensures even distribution of flavors in every bite.
  • Once your bread is baked, give it time to cool; otherwise, you risk having it crumble when you slice into it. 
  • Want even more taste? Sprinkle some nuts or extra dark chocolate chips for more texture and flavor.

FAQs

Can I replace almond flour with another flour?

Absolutely. You can mix things up with coconut flour or any other low-carb flours. Coconut flour absorbs more liquid so you might need to tweak the amount a bit.

What can I use instead of xylitol?

You can swap sugars, no problem. Opt for Erythritol or Stevia, or if you’re not going full low-carb, feel free to use coconut sugar or maple syrup.

can I add other spices to this recipe?

Totally, spice it up! I like nutmeg, clove, ground ginger, or allspice.

What Keto Pumpkin Bread Variations Can I Make?

You can add walnuts, pecans, coconut flakes, or a dreamy cream cheese swirl. Cardamom or ginger are great around the festive season. What is better than a guilt free pumpkin bread around Halloween!

Serving Suggestions

Slice warm and serve the Easy Keto Pumpkin Bread with a pat of unsalted butter or your favorite nut butter for a delightful breakfast. To elevate your dessert game, a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of spiced low-sugar syrup pairs delectably. This recipe will tell you how to make coconut cream, which would work well here. It’s also perfect all by itself, accompanied by a cup of tea, coffee, OR chase it with my Peanut Butter Keto Low-Carb Smoothie with Almond Milk.

how to store Keto pumpkin bread

You can bake this bread and then store it on the counter for up to 2 days. If you’ve got some space in your fridge, it can hang out there for a week. If you would like to keep it around long-term, slice it up then freeze it. It should last for up to 3 months. When you’re ready for a slice, let it thaw in the fridge overnight then give it a quick zap in the microwave. It will resemble a loaf straight out of the oven!
