Paleo Pumpkin Bread Recipe

I’ve got a thing for quick breads. They’re quick, easy, reliable, and always delicious. I usually end up making banana bread of some variety based off of the chocolate cinnamon recipe I’ve shared with you all. I’m pretty sure my mother in law always makes sure that we have a healthy stock of bananas in the hopes that I make banana bread when they go overly ripe. No complaints here!

Now that it’s October, pumpkin bread just feels mandatory. I get a lot of enjoyment out of waking up to a slice of this bread and a cup of coffee. It’s perfectly moist, generously spiced and not to mention gorgeously colored.

Not only is this pumpkin bread grain free and refined sugar free, but it’s nut free as well. When it comes to Paleo baking I usually rely on almond flour over coconut flour. I love the taste and texture of almond four, but I do not love the price. I also don’t love the fact that nuts are such a common allergen. Since we’re no strangers to food allergies here in our house, I love sharing recipes that can be enjoyed by most people. While there is no such thing as a completely allergy free recipe, this is recipe is nut free, dairy free, and can be made low FODMAP and/or SCD depending on which sweetener you choose. All in all, I’d say this Paleo pumpkin bread is perfect for sharing…and also hoarding to yourself because it’s too good to give away. Your choice!

  1. I have yet to find a paleo pumpkin bread recipe that doesn’t come out soggy. This recipe proved to be the same – only the edges are cooked, leaving the rest of the loaf almost raw. I left it for an extra 20 mins and still have uncooked bread. Help! What am I doing wrong?

    • Hi Callie! So sorry it hasn’t worked out for you! There could be a couple of things that had an impact on the bread. It could be that the oven doesn’t distribute heat evenly. I know I’ve had problems in the past with baking when I’ve used ovens that have random hot spots – parts of my baked goods would be over cooked and others would be left raw. One thing you could try in the future would be to reduce the oven temperature down to about 325 and cook for a longer time at a lower rate. At least that way the outside edges wouldn’t cook too much faster than the inside. I wish I could be there in the kitchen with you to help figure it out – I hope this helps a little bit!

  2. Hello! Would it be possible to use coconut sugar in place of the honey or maple syrup? I have some in the pantry I’d like to use up. Thanks!

    • Hi Dee! I’ve yet to try this with coconut sugar, but I think it would work. You may want to increase the amount of coconut sugar by an extra tablespoon or so because honey/maple are much sweeter by nature. It may not come out as moist as the original recipe, but I think you’ll still be alright. Hope that helps!

  3. Hi Sarah
    Would love to make your Pumpkin Bread, but the copy of the recipe I’m looking at doesn’t specify the amount of coconut flour, could you please let me know what quantity. Many thanks, Leonie

    • Hi Leonie! Thanks for pointing this out to me! When I look at it from the back end (where I can edit/post things) everything looks fine. I think I might have accidentally changed something recently that made the recipe go funny on the front end. I’m fixing it now. In case you still need it: it’s supposed to be 1/2 cup coconut flour. Thanks again for letting me know!

  4. I cannot find the measurement for the flour… I think I’m losing it! Got 3/4 through the recipe and and winging it on the amount. Hope it comes out!

    Reply

    • Hi Lane! I’m so sorry that that happened! I think I must have changed the coding recently on the post to make the ingredient list go like that. On my end everything looked fine, so I had no idea. I’ve fixed it now, but I’m sure you’ve already finished at this point. I’m very sorry if you ended up wasting ingredients without the proper amount. Thank you for letting me know so I could fix it for other people!

  5. Thank you for this recipe! Got it in my inbox and just HAD to make it right away. Actually my first Paleo bread attempt and it turned out awesome! Florida hasn’t figured out it’s fall yet, but I have!
    Cheers!

    • I know you mean about Florida not knowing the weather! When I lived in Arizona it never felt like we got any sort of change of season so I had to make up for it by baking all things ‘fall’. So glad you liked the pumpkin bread! 🙂

    • Hi Alicia! I can’t really say how it would turn out with brown rice flour since I’ve never made it that way. Coconut flour is an extremely absorbent flour which means you don’t need much of it in baking. If you were to swap flours you would have to probably add more rice flour or less eggs to balance it all out. Sorry I can’t be more help here though

  15. It was so great to find your blog through Gluten Free Fridays at Vegetarian Mama! I love all the things you listed about October, especially soups. Your pumpkin bread looks phenomenal. I love the pumpkin seeds on top too. We’re big fans of pumpkin kernels over here. It looks as though you pinned down the texture of the bread to be just right as well. Thanks for sharing, and I hope you’re enjoying a beautiful weekend! 😀

    • Thank you so much, Kaila! I love banana bread, but pumpkin bread is just amazing. I think the fact that it’s seasonal and is tied to so many fall emotions makes it even better, ya know? Great finding your blog too, btw!
