Grease a loaf pan and line with parchment paper. I like to use a medium-sized loaf pan, 8.5 x 4.5 inches. In a large bowl, melt the butter in the microwave. Whisk in the pumpkin puree, eggs, sweetener and spices
Mix in the remaining ingredients (except nuts, if using) until well combined
Fold in the nuts or other add-ins
Bake for about 60 minutes or until a wooden pick comes out clean when inserted and removed from the middle of the loaf.
Let cool completely before slicing.
Expert tips
If using coconut flour replacements, the baking time may change just a bit. Check for doneness starting at 40 minutes.
Make sure your eggs are room temperature. It’s not 100% necessary, but recommended. Cold eggs will cause the melted butter to solidify, which can lead to a less uniform bread.
I bake this in a medium sized loaf pan that’s 8.5 x 4.5 inches. If you use a standard sized loaf pan, the bread won’t be as tall and the baking time may be a little less.
It’s best to let the bread cool completely before slicing into it. I know, it’s SOOO hard to wait! Breads tend to crumble more if sliced into while hot.
Lining the loaf pan with parchment and greasing it with butter or oil is recommended. This will help your loaf come out of the pan more easily.
Variations
Add orange zest – orange and pumpkin together are bliss.
Make it with maple extract instead of vanilla extract. Or, add some banana extract for banana pumpkin bread
Make muffins! Simply pour the batter in muffin cups and alter the baking time accordingly.
Top with a maple glaze, cream cheese frosting or chocolate ganache
Replace the butter with ghee.
Optional add-ins
Nuts and seeds – walnuts, pecans, hazelnuts (not FODMAP-friendly) and pumpkin seeds are great options
Chocolate chips or white chocolate chips Pumpkin chocolate chip bread is one of my favorite things. I’m particularly fond of adding white chocolate chips.
Dried berries – cranberries or currants add a divine touch of acidity, tang and sweetness
