Preparation Time | 15-20 minutes |
Cooking Time | 50-55 minutes |
Total Time | 65-75 minutes |
Level of Difficulty | Medium |
Ingredients
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 2 eggs
- 1/3 cup melted butter
- 1/3 cup cottage cheese
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon molasses
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup coconut flour
- 1/2 cup alternative sweetener (like joy filled eats sweetener)
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin spice (if desired)
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 2/3 cup chopped pecans, divided
- 2 tablespoons alternative sweetener (optional, for glaze)
Step 1: Prepare the Loaf Pan and Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line a standard 9-inch loaf pan with parchment paper and spray it with cooking spray to ensure the bread doesn’t stick.
Step 2: Mix the Batter
In a large bowl, combine the following ingredients: pumpkin puree, eggs, melted butter, cottage cheese, vanilla, molasses, almond flour, coconut flour, your choice of sweetener, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice (if using), and baking powder.
Stir these ingredients until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.
Step 3: Add Pecans to the Batter
Gently stir in ⅓ cup of pecans into the pumpkin batter to add some crunch and flavor.
Step 4: Pour Batter and Bake
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly.
To garnish, sprinkle the remaining ⅔ cup of pecans on top of the batter.
Place the loaf pan in the oven and bake for 50-55 minutes.
The bread should turn golden and be firm to the touch in the center.
If the pecans on top begin to burn, cover the bread with foil during the last 20 minutes of baking.
Step 5: Optional Glaze
If you’d like to add a glaze, melt your choice of sweetener in a small saucepan over low heat.
Once melted, drizzle it over the top of the baked pumpkin bread for an extra touch of sweetness.
Step 6: Cool and Serve
Allow the pumpkin bread to cool in the loaf pan for a few minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and enjoy your delicious homemade pumpkin bread!
