Sugar Free Pumpkin Bread

Hey, so it’s officially October and perfectly acceptable to dive into all things pumpkin, right?!  I was ahead of the game posting recipes in September, but I couldn’t help myself.  This is my absolute favorite time of year!

When the weather cools down a bit, I look forward to cozy hearty fall meals like beef stout stew, quick French onion soup, and homemade breads.  It’s the calm before the holiday frenzy that I cherish as well.

My days are fairly under control, but gosh I can feel when I start to pick up the stress of everyone around me anticipating holiday shopping, and general hustle in our grocery stores, parking lots, and throughout the neighborhood and work.

Many years back I consciously made an effort to give myself a break from my own expectations, and have brought back the fun of the holiday season.  If I only bake 4 dozen cookies instead of 12, then so be it!  If a gift didn’t arrive on time.  It’s OK!

 

All the ingredients you need to make sugar free pumpkin bread

 

Healthy pumpkin bread

But it does feel great when I get organized and prep food in advance, so I have started to freeze the pressure cooker pumpkin puree.  I hope to have a stash build up to use for months!

I have been freezing 1/4 cup portions of  fresh pureed pumpkin and have already blended up a pumpkin pie spice smoothie, except I varied the recipe, again!  See, the three versions that I usually make are not low carb.  I’ll share a low carb beverage soon!

Usually healthy and bread don’t jive in the same sentence, so I’m pretty proud to share a holiday favorite with nutritious ingredients!   No white flour or sugar included in this recipe, but you sure wouldn’t know!

Gluten free pumpkin bread

This recipe incorporates superfine almond flour and coconut flour together with the delicious pumpkin spices and a smidgen of maple extract giving this bread a delicious earthy flavor.

You will love how your house smells while baking a loaf of sugar free pumpkin bread!  Yes, gluten free breads smell amazing while baking too!

For this recipe I added walnuts.  I love the texture it adds to the bread and I only added 1/3 cup, including the sprinkle on top.  Add more or less to suit your preference.

      Looks like a really tasty version of pumpkin bread, and without refined sugar is great. Good tip to freeze the pumpkin puree, instead of having a frenzy in the kitchen trying to make as many things as possible with all the pumpkin.

      Can’t wait to try this recipe Sandra! So are there alternatives to monk fruit if you cannot find that? Pinning!

      Sorry to say but lacks the pumpkin taste I hoped for in low carb. Nice moist bread though. Maybe will double the pumpkin and try again.

        Hi Cheryl, this recipe already has two teaspoons of pumpkin spice, plus extra spices! Perhaps a tablespoon of pumpkin spice will suit your taste buds. I’m glad to hear the texture was perfect!
