    The ultimate pleasure of the fall season is pumpkin-flavored everything!

    From soups and desserts to beverages, we love everything that pumpkin has to offer.

    And there’s absolutely no reason why you shouldn’t enjoy the fall pumpkin extravaganza if you are on a keto diet.

    Especially when there are so many low carb pumpkin recipes to choose from.

    Moist Pumpkin Bread Recipe

    Today we are making scrumptious, low carb, and moist pumpkin bread with almond flour. It has a delicious cream cheese filling and all the flavors of pumpkin pie.

    It's sure to become a favorite family dessert that you can enjoy time and time again.

    And if you find yourself wanting more keto pumpkin recipes, try our no-bake pumpkin cheesecake, pumpkin spice chocolate chip cookies, or pumpkin spice latte (just like Starbucks, only low carb!)

    Why You'll Love It

    • The most delicious and moist pumpkin bread you'll ever have

    • Classic pumpkin pie flavors with a rich and creamy center
    • It makes a great gift for fall and the Holidays

    Ingredients You'll Need

    To make this delicious low carb pumpkin bread recipe, you'll only need 11 ingredients total.

    Ingredients arranged on a table to make keto pumpkin bread including pumpkin, butter, eggs, Erythritol, cream cheese, almond flour and spices

    For the Pumpkin Bread

    • Pumpkin puree - homemade or canned pumpkin puree. If using canned puree, make sure you check the nutritional information to check for added sugars.
    • Almond flour - blanched almond flour that is of super-fine grind.
    • Eggs - room temperature eggs work best so that your batter isn't clumpy.
    • Erythritol - granulated variety or any other sugar-free substitute.
    • Butter - melted butter at room temperature.
    • Baking powder - to create a light and fluffy texture.
    • Spices - you'll need a simple blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.

    For the Cream Cheese Filling

    • Cream cheese - softened cream cheese at room temperature.
    • Egg - another room-temperature egg.
    • Vanilla extract - to enhance all the flavors of our bread.
    • Erythritol - more granulated Erythritol or sugar-free substitute.
    • Almond flour - again, super-fine blanched almond flour.
    • Lemon - we'll use the zest of a lemon in the filling.

    Is Pumpkin Keto?

    But is pumpkin low carb? Yes!

    Although pumpkin does contain carbs, it's still easily incorporated into a low-carb diet.

    Pumpkin is used in a wide variety of keto recipes, but as with most foods, it's important to watch portion sizes.

    A 1-cup serving of pumpkin contains 30 calories with 8 grams of carbohydrates and 1 gram of fiber.

    The total net carbs in the 1 cup serving are just 7 grams, lower than other varieties of squash and other vegetables like potatoes and corn.

    Cooking Tips

    • Make sure the cream cheese is softened at room temperature to make it easier to mix. You can also microwave it at 10-second intervals to speed this up.
    • When adding the cream cheese filling mixture, make sure you keep it in the middle of the batter so that it doesn't seep out the sides.

    How To Make Pumpkin Bread

    Let's get started! It only takes around 10 minutes of preparation to make the batter and filling for the almond flour pumpkin bread. Follow the steps below:

    Preheat oven

    First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius) and line an 8 by 4-inch loaf pan with baking paper.

    Prep the dry ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, add the almond flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, Erythritol, and salt.

    Add the wet ingredients

    A bowl of dry ingredients having eggs, melted butter and pumpkin puree whisked in

    Begin whisking with an electric mixer and gradually add the eggs, melted butter, and pumpkin puree.

    Prep the batter

    Continue to whisk vigorously for 3 to 4 minutes until all the ingredients are well combined into a batter.

    Prep the filling

    Next, we'll prepare the cream cheese filling.

    Whisk together the cream cheese, vanilla extract, egg, almond flour, Erythritol, and lemon zest until you reach a soft, creamy texture.

    Pour into loaf pan

    It's time to get this delicious sugar-free pumpkin bread in the oven!

    Pour half the batter into your 8 by 4-inch loaf pan and add a layer of the cream cheese mixture on top, making sure to leave gaps on the sides.

    Reserve a few tablespoons of the cream cheese filling to add to the top of the loaf.

    Pour over the remaining batter and add several dollops on top using the remaining cream cheese filling.

    You can swirl these with a fork and make some pretty designs if you'd like!

    Bake the bread

    Bake the loaf for around 40 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius) or until firm at the top.

    Let it cool

    Remove the loaf from the oven and allow it to rest until it reaches room temperature before slicing and serving.

    Storage Instructions

    You can store any leftover pumpkin bread in a resealable bag at room temperature where it will keep for a couple of days. For any longer than that, keep the bread in an airtight container or bag in the refrigerator, where it will keep for up to 5 days.

    You can also freeze the bread, and I recommend slicing it before freezing. Store the slices in freezer-proof bags or containers, and they'll keep for up to two months.

        Hi Pam! If you're following a keto or low-carb diet you can't use regular sugar. However, if you're not it will work just fine 🙂

      Does a whole 8 oz block of cream cheese equal 1 cup?

      Is there anything I could substitute the butter for..? Trying to avoid dairy at the moment. Could I switch it for coconut oil or ghee?

      Reply
      • Jennifer

        October 04, 2022 at 8:31 pm

        Yes, you can replace the butter at a 1:1 ratio with coconut oil but it will have a slightly different flavor.

        Olive oil would probably work better substituted at a 3:4 ratio, so for this recipe, you would use around 1.4oz of olive oil. Olive oils flavor works very well with pumpkin bread so it will be delicious 🙂

        Hope that helps!
