Is Pumpkin Good for you?
Pumpkins are absolutely good for you and a great choice to add to your diet. They are very high in fiber but low in calories, so they will keep you full without adding a lot to your food intake each day. Pumpkins are also rich in vitamins A, B2, C and E as well as having a high amount of antioxidants. They are also nutrient rich, so you really can’t go wrong with eating pumpkin, and your new favorite way to eat it will be in a thick slice of this easy paleo pumpkin bread!

How to make Paleo Pumpkin Bread with Coconut Flour
Prepare
Preheat your oven and line the bottom of a loaf pan with parchment paper, rubbing the sides well with oil.
Mix
In a medium bowl, add the flour, spice, baking powder, salt and baking soda and use a wire whisk to combine. In a larger bowl, add the eggs, coconut oil and maple syrup and beat with an electric hand mixer until well combined. Add in the pumpkin and beat the mixture again. Add in the dry ingredients to the wet and mix thoroughly to combine. Let the mixture sit for a bit so that the coconut flour can absorb some moisture.
Bake
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and place the chopped pecans on top, gently pressing them in. Place the pan in the oven and bake until a toothpick comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
DEVOUR
Let the pumpkin bread cool COMPLETELY in the pan, then slice and enjoy!
Top Tips for making Paleo Pumpkin Bread Recipe
- Mix Well: For some loaf recipes, I recommend stirring until the batter is JUST mixed. However, for this pumpkin bread, it is important to mix everything thoroughly as coconut flour takes time to soak up moisture.
- Let is Sit: This goes along with the first tip in that coconut flour needs more time than many other flours to absorb moisture. It’s important to let your batter sit for about 10 minutes before pouring it into the loaf pan to bake.
How to serve Paleo Pumpkin Bread
I recommend serving this pumpkin bread in THICK slices, with whatever butter or nut butter you desire! I love some pecan butter on top, but you could go with cashew, almond or peanut butter and any of them would be delicious! You could also use grass fed butter or ghee as a topping, or even take it to the next level and make it into french toast!
How to store Pumpkin Bread
This pumpkin bread will last up to a week when stored, wrapped in plastic wrap tightly, in the fridge. To freeze it, I would suggest slicing it into portions, wrapping each slice individually in plastic wrap, and then placing them in a freezer style ziploc bag. Label them and they will last for up to 3 months in the freezer!

GIRL…. I love mornings alone, not because I LOVE being alone, but it just prepares me so well for being with people and gives me the right attitude/enough energy to invest. 🙂 So I know what you mean about mornings alone; also… can i just say that this pumpkin bread is totally getting me in the mood for fall? I’m just waiting for the summer temps to dissipate. 😀
Taylor Kiser says
YES!! I am the SAME. I need my mornings to get me ready!
I am ready for fall but ALSO waiting for the temps to drop! Why is it still SO HOT?! 😉
Brittany Audra @ Audra's Appetite says
YUM this looks like it needs to be my first pumpkin baked good recipe of the season! 🙂
Taylor Kiser says
Ha! I think so 😉 Hope you love if you try!
Jess @choosingchia says
I love my alone time in the mornings too! And my coffee. and I’d love a slice of this to go along 🙂
Taylor Kiser says
Right?! Alone mornings are the BEST!

I literally enjoyed pumpkin in the summer. I was mentally BORN for this season despite being physically born in the winter (though I ADORE snickerdoodle and peppermint hot chocolate flavors too!). Anyways, this pumpkin bread looks like a serious home run. Each slice looks so hearty, nutty, and loaded with warming spices! PERFECT for breakfast, dessert, a snack, pretty much anytime of the day!
Taylor Kiser says
HAHA same!!! I was born in winter too, but I am a fall girl at heart!! Thanks lady <3
jT says
I saw 3/4 cup but WHY did I put in 1 and 3/4 cups of flour? LOL. How did this happen? Is it just a rookie mistake? Anyway I used this recipe for the pumpkin bread and since it turned out so dry I just wet the ingredients more with water. I really wish I didn’t screw it up. I was really looking forward to eating the bread. ='( All the ads on this page is very distracting.
Taylor Kiser says
I hope you love it when you make it correctly!
Meghan says
What can we use instead of coconut oil?
Taylor Kiser says
You could use a different neutral flavored oil!
Stacia says
I subbed pure maple syrup for Lakanto’s monkfruit sweetened maple syrup and added 1/4 tsp. Kal Stevia powdered extract….the loaf turned out awesome. Thanks for the recipe…my new fave!
Taylor Kiser says
Yahoo!! I’m so glad you loved it!!
Molly Ruggles says
This recipe looks wonderful! I’m wondering if there are other ingredients one can substitute in instead of pumpkin puree. Would squash puree work? Would crated zuchini work?
Taylor Kiser says
Squash might! But, I really can’t tell you as recipes are only tested as written, sorry!
Wendy says
This is so tasty! Mine turned out a bit more dense than traditional pumpkin bread. I didn’t sift the flour so that could have been a factor. I love pumpkin bread all year round, and am always looking for ways to make it that are a healthier choice. This will be my new go to recipe.
Taylor Kiser says
Yes that definitely could impact it!! So glad you liked this recipe!
hannah says
Love the clean recipe! How do you think a loaf with about 2 cups of freshly chopped apples would turn out?
Taylor Kiser says
Thanks, Hannah! I can’t tell you because recipes are only tested as written, but let me know if you try it!
