How to Make Keto Pumpkin Bread with Almond Flour

Step 1: Prepare the Pan

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a small loaf pan (8.5 X 4.5 inches) with parchment paper with an overhang. Lightly spray the lined pan with avocado oil for easy removal.

Step 2: Mix Wet Ingredients

In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, pumpkin puree, stevia glycerite, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add the cinnamon and whisk to combine.

Step 3: Add Dry Ingredients

Gradually add almond flour to the wet mixture, switching to a rubber spatula as the batter thickens. Mix in kosher salt and baking soda evenly.

Step 4: Transfer to the Pan

Using a rubber spatula, transfer the batter to the prepared pan. Smooth out the top evenly.

Step 5: Bake

Bake for about 40 minutes, or until the bread is browned, set, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 6: Cool the Bread

Using the excess parchment paper as handles, carefully remove the bread from the pan and transfer it to a wire cooling rack. Remove the parchment to allow air to circulate.

Step 7: Rest and Slice

Cool the bread on the cooling rack for at least 30 minutes. Letting it rest before slicing ensures it won’t crumble. Slice the bread into 10 pieces and serve warm.

Storage Instructions & Freezing Tips

How to Store Leftovers

• Fridge: Wrap the bread tightly in plastic wrap or place in an airtight container. Keeps fresh for 4–5 days.
• Freezer: Slice and freeze individual pieces, wrapped tightly in plastic and stored in freezer bags for up to 3 months.
• Reheating: Microwave a frozen slice for 15–20 seconds, or toast lightly for a crisp edge.

Freezing Tips
