Calories 164kcal
Ingredients
- Avocado oil spray for the pan
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup pure pumpkin puree
- 1 ½ teaspoon stevia glycerite Equals ½ cup sugar*
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon or 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 2 cups blanched finely ground almond flour (8 oz)**
- ¼ teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt or a pinch of fine salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a small loaf pan (8.5 X 4.5 inches) with parchment paper with overhang, as shown in the video below. Lightly spray the lined pan with oil.
- In a medium bowl, using a hand whisk, whisk together the eggs, pumpkin puree, stevia, and vanilla. Add the cinnamon and whisk to combine.
- Gradually add the almond flour, switching from a whisk to a rubber spatula as the batter thickens. Then mix in the kosher salt and the baking soda.
- Using a rubber spatula, transfer the batter to the prepared pan. Smooth out the top.
- Bake the bread until browned and set, and a toothpick inserted in its center comes out clean, about 40 minutes.
- Using the excess parchment paper as handles, carefully remove the bread from the pan and transfer it to a wire rack. Carefully remove the parchment, to allow air to circulate.
- Cool the bread for 30 minutes on the cooling rack. Slice it into 10 slices and serve.

Notes
*You can use ½ cup of a granulated sweetener (up to ¾ cup if you like your baked goods very sweet).
**I use Bob's Red Mill Super-Fine Almond Flour. One cup of this flour weighs 4 oz, so 2 cups weigh 8 ounces. It's best to measure almond flour by weight rather than by volume.
A nice addition to the basic recipe is a handful of chopped nuts or dark chocolate chips.
After the bread is completely cool and sliced, you can store the slices in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
This bread is very moist. You can add a tablespoon of coconut flour (add it with the almond flour) to absorb some of the moisture.
