The best keto pumpkin bread

Readers have been asking for more keto pumpkin recipes, so I wanted to share this healthy pumpkin bread recipe right away.

The first time making the loaf, I brought it to a brunch gathering and served it to five friends and myself.

Only one of us is following a keto diet, and yet the entire loaf disappeared almost immediately, with many requests for the recipe.

While many other low carb breads are made with coconut flour and added thickeners such as psyllium husk, this almond flour pumpkin bread doesn’t need any of those ingredients, and the bold pumpkin flavor really shines.

Pumpkin loaf ingredients

Many people ask if pumpkin is keto friendly since it’s a fruit, and the answer is that it can be. Pumpkin is a good source of fiber, with 10 grams carbs, 3 grams fiber, and 7 grams net carbs per half cup.

The keto pumpkin loaf, when made with almond flour or almond meal and canned pumpkin or homemade pumpkin puree, has fewer than 3 net carbs per slice.

To make it a vegan pumpkin bread, or if you need an egg free version after running out of eggs, simply use the flax eggs option listed below.

For the sweetener, you can use granulated erythritol or a monk fruit blend. Or regular sugar or coconut sugar are fine to substitute for a non keto version.

Adding the cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice is a wonderful choice that heightens the seasonal Fall flavors. I usually like to include the two spices not just in this pumpkin recipe, but in all my autumn baking.

The sugar free pumpkin bread was adapted from my vanilla Keto Birthday Cake and from this Almond Flour Banana Bread.

How to make low carb pumpkin bread

Start by gathering your ingredients and greasing a 9×5 loaf pan or lining it with parchment paper.

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. In a large mixing bowl, combine all paleo pumpkin bread ingredients and stir until well mixed.

Smooth into the prepared loaf pan, and bake on the oven center rack for 1 hour. It should be cooked through, but still ultra moist and dense, after this time.

In general, keto pumpkin bread recipes are denser and fudgier in texture than those made with traditional flour.

I found that letting the bread cool completely before going around the sides with a knife and then popping out onto a serving plate protects it from breaking.

The recipe can be left out overnight, loosely covered in cloth or paper towels. To store leftovers after that, I recommend refrigerating for up to five days. Or slice and freeze for one or two months.

If desired, frost with your favorite sugar free frosting, melted butter or coconut butter, packaged cream cheese or homemade Vegan Cream Cheese.

    I made this today and as I’m in Australia and pumpkin purée in a can isn’t really a thing I steamed some butternut pumpkin then dried it out a little in a low oven which brought out the sweetness in the pumpkin. I’m not big on sugar substitutes and as I wanted more of a bread than a cake it was perfectly fine with no sugar/substitutes. Kept it plain, no icing or choc chips but did add some cinnamon (no pie spice as we don’t have that here either) and we really love it. Might seem weird that I used no sugar but it think it’s because I cooked my own pumpkin then puréed it in a processor. Thank you for the recipe, love it

    Just made this tonight to take with me on vacation so I can enjoy this for breakfast. Buttered the pan and it popped right out the of the pan when it was fully cooled. Tasted a pea sized amount of the batter and it tasted good. So, I’m sure it will be delish! Thank you for this easy recipe!

    I love this recipe. The bread turned out great! Moist! I add a lot more pumpkin seasoning because I like spicy pumpkin pie. I will be making this a lot! Thank you.

    I know it’s not technically Fall (especially in Florida) but this pumpkin bread really hit the spot! I used Truvia brown sugar, added an extra teaspoon of cinnamon, and baked it for 1 hour and 15 minutes. It’s perfect! Thanks for the wonderful recipe!
