Total Time: 70 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 1 loaf
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup coconut flour
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup erythritol or sweetener of choice
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper, allowing excess paper to hang over the sides for easy removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined and free of lumps.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until smooth. Add pumpkin puree and erythritol, mixing thoroughly until the mixture is completely uniform.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring carefully to create a smooth, thick batter. Mix until no dry streaks remain.
- Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, using a spatula to spread it evenly and smooth the top.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 55-60 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center - it should come out clean with just a few moist crumbs.
- Remove from oven and let the bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Then, using the parchment paper, lift the bread out and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, slice and serve. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Ingredient Temperature Matters: Ensure your eggs are at room temperature for better mixing and a more uniform batter.
- Mixing Technique: When combining wet and dry ingredients, fold gently to avoid overmixing, which can lead to a dense, tough bread.
- Sweetener Options: While erythritol works great, you can experiment with other low-carb sweeteners like stevia or monk fruit blend.
- Moisture Check: The toothpick test is crucial - a few moist crumbs are okay, but it should not be wet.
- Cooling is Key: Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing to help it set and prevent crumbling.
- Storage Hack: Wrap individual slices in plastic wrap and freeze for up to a month for a quick grab-and-go breakfast or snack.
- Spice Variation: Feel free to adjust the spices to your taste. Add a pinch of ginger or cloves for extra warmth.
- Pan Preparation: The parchment paper overhang trick makes removing the bread a breeze and prevents sticking.
