Paleo Pumpkin Bread Recipe
This moist, soft, delicious, and healthy pumpkin bread will satisfy your craving. So today, I am going to share with you what I have been making for so many years. This recipe is always present during Fall season. Few reasons why I love this pumpkin bread recipe is because it is gluten-free, sugar-free, grain-free and dairy free that is why it is called Paleo. I make sure that it is pack with a lot of low glycemic ingredients so it wont spike blood sugar level up. So if you are trying to lower your sugar intake, this is one of the best bread I recommend. It is very easy to make and it take an hour total from preparing to baking.

Tips
- Always preheat the oven first.
- Use room-temperature eggs and coconut oil to avoid clumping your batter.
- To check if your bread is done, stick a toothpick into the batter and if it comes out clean then it is done.
- Avoid opening the oven too often because you wanted the temperature to be consistent. Otherwise, your bread may turn flat or collapse.
- To avoid the batter sticking into the pan, you can use parchment paper on the bottom of the loaf pan or use a silicone pan instead of a glass or aluminum pan just like I did.
- You can store your leftover bread on the countertop for 3-5 days or freezer for up to 3 months. I use a glass container or aluminum foil for extra fresh bread.
- Check my youtube video for a full demonstration.
Substitution
- If you do not have tapioca powder, you can use 2 tablespoons of potato starch or corn starch for this recipe.
- If you are plant-based you can use chia egg 1 egg= 1 Tbsp chia seeds+ 3 Tbsp water as an egg substitute.
- If you run out of coconut oil, you can use butter, shortening, lite olive oil, or avocado oil.
- For pumpkin spice powder, make your own using cinnamon powder, ginger powder, nutmeg powder, allspice powder, cloves powder. You can play with it using your taste bud, I like cinnamon taste to stand out.
- A glass, porcelain, or aluminum pan is great but I use a silicone baking pan here and it came out easily without using a parchment paper on the bottom of the pan and it did not stick!
