Paleo Pumpkin Bread Recipe Notes
Not much to it! Here are the details:
Ingredient Notes
Pumpkin – Pumpkin isn’t technically one of the low carb fruits, but we’ll use a bit less pumpkin than traditional recipes, increase the pumpkin spice, and cut carbs elsewhere.
Sweetener – For baked goods, my preferred keto sweeteners erythritol. It’s a zero-calorie sweetener that’s gentle on the stomach and diabetes-friendly.
Flours – Unlike most of my recipes, we’ll use a combo of low carb flour here — the moisture from the pumpkin needs to be absorbed by a drying flour (coconut flour). This helps to keep the bread together, yet moist. The perfect balance.
The Frosting – There’s also an optional low carb cream cheese frosting that really puts the finishing touches on your low carb pumpkin bread recipe.
The bread is DELISH without it, so skip it if you want to save time.
Tools To Make
Low carb pumpkin bread doesn’t require any crazy kitchen gadgets! Here’s what you’ll need.
- A couple of mixing bowls to combine out ingredients
- Hand mixer to make the icing
- Prepared 8-inch bread pan
Storing Tips
Storing your low carb pumpkin bread recipe is as easy as putting it in a gallon Ziploc and tossing it in the fridge — I prefer to wrap mine in saran wrap to avoid condensation in the Ziploc bag.
Can You Freeze This?
Yess!! This low carb pumpkin bread recipe freezes really well, and it only takes a few minutes to thaw on the counter.
You can easily freeze it all in one shot or wrap individual pieces and freeze them that way. It only takes a few minutes on the counter at room temperature to thaw out and you can just pull out a slice at a time.
If you plan to freeze this bread, do so without the icing! As it’ll become a melted mess when you defrost it.
Serving Recommendations
Enjoy a slice of pumpkin bread alongside your morning coffee, sugar free pumpkin spice latte, or pumpkin smoothie!
Recipe Variations
Although switching around baked good ingredients can be difficult, there are a few small, subtle changes you can make. Including:
- Turn this loaf into muffins. Low carb pumpkin muffins make awesome little low carb snacks. Use the same recipe and simply pour it into a muffin tin. The frosting is a MUST if muffins are the plan.
- Add some toppings. Cover your pumpkin bread in a combination of your favorite low carb nuts and seeds. It’ll add some crunch and nutrition into the mix.
- Turn this into a crazy moist low carb sandwich bread by cutting down on the erythritol and spice. Or sometimes I like to pour this batter into a donut pan for a sweet and spicy low carb bagel.
