Paleo and Gluten-Free

Instead of regular wheat flour, I have used almond flour and coconut flour, which makes this recipe gluten-free, paleo, grain-free, and low-carb.

Three slices of fall-spiced dessert on pretty plates. There are forks and a glass of dairy-free milk as well.

Start with preheating the oven to 375 F degrees, and grease or line a loaf pan.

Second, in a medium mixing bowl, combine all the wet ingredients – pumpkin puree, eggs, almond butter.

In a small bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients – almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, and pumpkin pie spice. Then, gently combine wet and dry ingredients with a spatula. Make sure not to over mix. Next, fold the pecans and pumpkin seeds into the bread batter. Pour the pumpkin batter into a pan and top with more pumpkin seeds and pecans.

  2. Pair it with a cup of Pumpkin Spice Latte 
  3. Top with yogurt and granola for a protein-packed breakfast
  4. Top with your favorite nut or seed butter for healthy fats and a protein boost

How can Pumpkin bread be stored

A healthy dessert loaf cut up in slices topped with seeds and nuts Refrigerator: Once the paleo pumpkin bread loaf has completely cooled down, store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. You can either slice them up or leave it as a whole loaf. Freezer: Yes you can freeze it!

What are some ways to freeze pumpkin bread?

Once it cools completely, slice the pumpkin bread and wrap the individual slices in plastic wrap. Or you can place them in an airtight container without wrapping. Instead, leave a little room between each slice so they won’t be hard to break apart when you are ready to enjoy them. Since this paleo pumpkin bread is moist and gooey, they barely need any time to thaw before enjoying it. They almost taste like a pumpkin ice cream bar! However, you can microwave it for a few seconds as well. Finally, get baking this fall with this healthy pumpkin bread recipe. I hope you and your family enjoy it!

    Looks yummy! But was reading through everything before I make it and I’m unsure on how much Pumpkin I use. Do I use 1 cup or 1 1/2 cup? Thank you 🙂

    Hi there – Should the new ingredient list state 1.5 c pumpkin instead of 1 c, as you mentioned up above in your post? I just made this recipe using the 1 cup listed and it seems a bit dry. Tastes great though! Thank you!

    This looks so delicious! If I plan on omitting the maple syrup, would you recommend making any other changes to the recipe or should it turn out ok?

      Hi Sasha,

      You can use other liquid forms of sweetener like honey, stevia, etc. Hope this helped.

    Hi! I made this recipe tonight- super good! Just wanted to note that the recipe doesn’t say when the pumpkin is added, and also that in step 2 (where I’m assuming pumpkin goes, being a wet ingredient) it says to mix together the almond butter and maple syrup with everything else, but then in step 4 it says almond butter and maple syrup need to be microwaved? I didn’t know what to do there so skipped it. Maybe you can clarify for me for next time! Thanks so much!

      Hi Margaret,

      Thank you for pointing that out. (Not sure how that step got in there, sorry I didn’t catch that during the recent new website migration). Just updated it and took that out (glad you skipped it! it was NOT necessary). But glad you enjoyed it! 🙂

    This recipe is a keeper! I had 1/2 a can of pumpkin puree left over from a previous recipe and wanted to find a way to use it. I stumbled upon this pumpkin banana bread recipe and I’m so glad I did! Super simple, I added raisins and walnuts, and my center came out a little underdone (in the best way) so it tastes and feels JUST like pumpkin pie. A guilt-free way to indulge! Thank you!
