Keto Coconut Flour Pumpkin Bread

This coconut flour pumpkin bread is also tree-nut-free, gluten-free, grain-free, and low in carbs, making it keto-friendly.

My recipe calls for both coconut flour and flaxseed for the best texture and a generous amount of fall spices to give it that extra something special.

I’m not one who is shy about spice, so this was no exception!

The combination creates an unforgettable bread: rich yet light at the same time, just right for slicing after being warmed up in your oven or toaster while still holding together well. 

Making pumpkin bread with coconut flour is a great low-carb option. The pumpkin bread will have even more fiber than, say, almond flour pumpkin bread.

In order to make this recipe, you need the right ingredients.  Golden flaxseed meal will give a better texture than regular flax does. 

The pumpkin bread also adds psyllium husk powder, which gives it stability.

I highly recommend you add it. Plus, this adds to the fiber content of the recipe. 

How To Make Keto Pumpkin Coconut Flour Bread

To make this low-carb quick bread, you’ll need to first prep your 8×5-inch loaf pan by making sure it’s properly greased with butter, and then add a layer of parchment paper to the width of the pan with some extra overhang for easier removal once baking is complete.

This helps ensure that any weighty items, like loaves, do not break during transfer onto cooling racks or kitchen countertops!

To make the batter, you will need to combine in a large bowl the following dry ingredients: Coconut flour, golden flax meal, psyllium husk powder, baking powder, salt, and spices.

Note that you can use two tablespoons of pumpkin pie spice if you prefer.

Then, in another bowl, using an electric mixer, combine the wet ingredients: melted butter that has been cooled, sugar substitute, eggs one at a time, vanilla extract, and the pumpkin puree.

Pour the beaten egg mixture into the dry ingredients and combine well.

Spread the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan and bake in a 350-degree oven for 40–50 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.

Allow the low-carb pumpkin bread to cool completely on a cooling rack before frosting it with the cream cheese frosting. 

Ingredients Needed For A Pumpkin Coconut Flour Loaf

This recipe is pretty straightforward, and I am confident you’ll be able to get the same great results if followed closely. The following are the ingredients you’ll need. 

I’ve included a recipe for cream cheese frosting, so it gives you further options when making this recipe. Note that the full printable recipe card is at the bottom of the page. 

• Coconut flour: I prefer Anthony’s brand
• Golden flax meal It must be golden since regular flax meal is too heavy and dense.
• Baking powder
• Psyllium husk powder: I recommend the NOW brand for consistent results
• Brown sugar substitute, but you can use white if you prefer
• Canned pumpkin puree: be sure it is NOT pumpkin pie filling since that is loaded with sugar
• Melted unsalted butter or coconut oil for a dairy-free option
• Eggs, room temperature
• Vanilla extract
• Cinnamon powder
• Ginger powder
• Nutmeg
• Ground cloves
• Salt

Cream Cheese Frosting

• Full-fat cream cheese softened
• Unsalted butter, room temperature
• Sugar-free confectioner’s sugar substitute
• Heavy whipping cream

Sugar-Substitute Options

As far as sweeteners are concerned, I decided to use Lakanto’s brown sugar substitute a wonderful low-carb counterpart to regular brown sugar.

However, you can also choose  Lakanto’s white granulated sugar substitute, which has great results too. I love their sugar substitutes, which are erythritol and monk fruit sweetener blends because they come so close to traditional sugar.

You could either use their regular white granulated, their brown sugar substitute, or even their gold, which has a delicious brown sugar flavor profile with the texture of white sugar. 

Having said that, I’m also partial to the Swerve brand, which is also an erythritol blend. Similar to Lakanto, it uses sugar alcohols and has 0% impact on blood sugar. You could also use the stevia and erythritol-based brand Pyure if you prefer to use a stevia-based sweetener.

Note that if this is your choice, make sure you reduce the amount called for in the recipe by half since it’s a much sweeter option.

Lastly, if you can’t easily find a more natural sugar substitute, you can also use Splenda with good success.

I know not everyone would agree with me here, and I respect that, but in my book, it’s still better than regular sugar.

When it comes to the cream cheese frosting, you will have to use a confectioner’s sugar substitute. Both Lakanto and Swerve have great ones. 

Customize Your Coconut Flour Pumpkin Loaf

There are several things you can do to customize this low-carb pumpkin bread. For example, you can make it dairy-free by simply swapping the melted butter for coconut oil and leaving out the cream cheese frosting.

You could also add 1/2 cup of sugar-free chocolate chips for a similar flavor profile to our almond flour chocolate chip pumpkin bread recipe.

My failed attempts when I first went keto are what caused me to be very intentional with my Keto Baking recipes.

I threw away so many ingredients in the beginning, and I never want anyone to be so frustrated that they give up on the diet before they can see long-lasting results.

Even though those early days were not fun, the fact that I stayed the course has made this journey very rewarding.

Besides, if I had quit at the first sign of struggle, I would not have had the opportunity to engage with you all.
