Gluten-Free Paleo Pumpkin Bread With Coconut Flour
This pumpkin bread uses coconut flour and pumpkin pie spice for a gluten-free, paleo-friendly loaf. Eggs and maple syrup provide moisture and sweetness, while coconut oil adds richness. Pumpkin purée lends moistness and autumnal flavor, contrasted by chopped pecans on top for texture. Baking in a greased loaf pan delivers a slightly dense but tender bread with a spiced aroma, suitable for slicing and enjoying as a snack or breakfast treat.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon coconut flour sifted (70 grams)
- 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 4 egg large
- 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil melted, plus extra for greasing the pan
- 1 cup pumpkin canned
- 1/3 cup pecans roughly chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line the bottom of a loaf pan with parchment paper, greasing the sides generously with coconut oil.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the coconut flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, salt, and baking soda.
- In a separate large bowl beat together the eggs, maple syrup, and coconut oil with an electric hand mixer until well mixed. Add in the pumpkin and beat until well combined.
- Whisk the dry ingredients into the wet until well combined. Let stand for 10 minutes so the coconut flour can absorb some moisture.
- Spread into the prepared pan and top with the pecans, lightly pressing them in. Bake until the top is brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 1 hour to 1 hour and 5 mins. Let cool completely in the pan.
- Slice and enjoy!
