Keto Pumpkin Bread Low Carb And Gluten Free Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups almond flour
- 1/2 cup allulose
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 4 large eggs
- 1/3 cup butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon pumpkin seeds
Directions
Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F.
Line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, whisk together the almond flour, allulose, baking powder, and pumpkin pie spice.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, melted butter, and eggs.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined to form a batter.
Transfer the batter into the lined pan and sprinkle with pumpkin seeds.
Bake for 40-45 minutes, covering the top of the loaf pan with parchment paper halfway through baking to prevent over-browning.
Remove from the oven and allow the loaf to cool completely in the pan before slicing.
Place slices of pumpkin bread in a freezer-safe bag and store in the freezer for up to 6 months.
Thaw slices overnight in the refrigerator before serving.
Frequently Asked Questions
How should I store this Keto Pumpkin Bread to keep it fresh?
This low-carb pumpkin bread stores beautifully at room temperature, tightly wrapped, for up to 3 days. For longer storage, wrap individual slices tightly in plastic wrap and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week, or freeze for up to three months.
Can I substitute the almond flour in this gluten-free pumpkin bread recipe?
While almond flour is essential for the texture of this specific keto recipe, you could potentially substitute it with an equal volume of finely ground sunflower seed flour if you have a nut allergy. Be aware that this substitution may slightly alter the moisture level and flavor profile of the final bread.
What is the best way to ensure my Keto Pumpkin Bread doesn't stick when baking?
To guarantee easy removal, ensure you thoroughly line your loaf pan with parchment paper, allowing some overhang on the sides to act as handles. Since the recipe calls for melted butter, greasing the parchment paper lightly in addition to lining the pan offers extra insurance against sticking.
