Spongy keto pumpkin bread you can mix in blender. This recipe is hard to beat and perfect for the cozy Fall season!

Autumn is made for baking pumpkin everything! Pair this bread with a slice of pumpkin cake roll, pumpkin spiced latte or cream cheese pumpkin muffins.

This moist pumpkin bread is ridiculously easy to make. Add ingredients to a blender, mix, pour into loaf pans, and your house will smell like autumn spices in less than 30 minutes! The best part is there is very little clean up since we mixed everything in a blender.

The key to spongy low-carb pumpkin bread with coconut flour is eggs, but cream cheese neutralizes that eggy taste. This cozy fall favorite is packed with cinnamon and pumpkin spice.

 

How to make keto pumpkin bread

  1. Add all ingredients to a blender – cream cheese, pumpkin puree, butter, sweetener, coconut flour, baking powder, fall spices and eggs. Mix until combined.
  2. Pour into prepared loaf pans.
  3. Bake the sugar free pumpkin bread until cooked through and spongy.

Key ingredients & substitutions

  • Cream cheese – Used to neutralize the egg flavor from the 4 eggs that are added to help make this quick bread rise.
  • Pumpkin puree – Wouldn’t be pumpkin bread without pureed pumpkin!
  • Butter – Provides moisture and healthy fats
  • Brown sweetener – Gives a hint of sweet caramelized flavor without adding sugar or carbs. Can substitute with regular white granulated sugar-free sweetener.
  • Coconut flour – The flour I use for this bread. I haven’t tried almond flour yet, but it should work. Try using 1 cup of almond flour, then let me know how it turns out.
  • Cinnamon & pumpkin pie spice – The star spices of the Fall season.
  • Eggs – Used to help this keto bread rise.

Keto Pumpkin Bread

Frequently Asked Questions

Is pumpkin keto?

Yes, pumpkin is keto! Per 1/2 cup of puree, pumpkin only has 6.5 grams of carbs, 3.5 of which are fiber.

Can I make a whole loaf instead of mini loaves?

Yes, you can make a whole pumpkin loaf. It will take longer to cook.

Can you taste the coconut flour in this recipe?

The cream cheese and eggs help to limit the overpowering flavor and smell of coconut flour in this pumpkin bread recipe. I can't tell it is made with coconut flour. If you must, you can try using almond flour according to recommendations above.

Canned vs homemade pumpkin puree

For this recipe you can use either canned or homemade pumpkin puree. If you’re buying canned pumpkin puree just make sure that there is no added sugar in it, as it would add extra carbs. It should say 100% pumpkin puree on the label and not pumpkin pie filling.

Canned pumpkin puree is obviously the quicker option. However, if you don’t have any at hand, you can always make your own!

To make your own pumpkin puree:

  • Cut a small sugar pumpkin in half and scrape out the seeds and strings from the inside.
  • Bake the pumpkin halves at 350°F. This usually take from 45 minutes to an hour.
  • Once the pumpkin is done, leave to cool and then scoop out the flesh.
  • This can then be used for any recipe which requires pumpkin puree.

 

Variations

Instead of plain pumpkin spice bread, try adding in some of these elements for added flavor or crunch:
  • chocolate chips
  • walnuts
  • pecans
  • coconut
  • cream cheese frosting on top!

Storage information

The best way to store pumpkin bread is in an airtight container so that it doesn’t dry out. If you would like to use it throughout the week, it would be better to refrigerate it. However, if you’re planning on using it on the day you make it, you can leave it in room temperature and it will remain moist.

Pumpkin bread lasts up to 3 days at room temperature when stored in an airtight container and up to a week in the refrigerator.

    Can I use Mascarpone to substitute for cream cheese since it has 0 carbs

      I haven't tried that but it would probably work.

    I was confused on the recipe. You did not have syrup listed under ingredients. However, you state in your recipe to add syrup. Looking forward to your response. 😀

      Annie Lampella Aug 6, 2022

      You don't need the syrup. You can use it as instructed in the video or use cinnamon and sweetener for flavor instead.

    I made these in a jumbo muffin pan. I served them with some whipped sweetened cream cheese on top. They were excellent. I’d say the texture was between a muffin and a pie for those curious. Thank you for sharing.

    I plan on making them again and top them with a touch of whipped cream.

    Instead of cinnamon, could pumpkin pie spice be used? If so, how much? 1 Tsp?

      Annie Lampella Sep 27, 2021

      Yes, I would use the same amount - 1 teaspoon should be fine

    Hi Annie, I love your recipes and your videos! Thank you ?
    For the pumpkin bread recipe, I can't get the macros to be 2.1g carbs.
    Is there something that you changed for it to be that low? Mine comes out as 5.1.
    Thanks!

      Are you subtracting the fiber? It could also depend on the type pumpkin puree.
