Ingredients
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter (or coconut oil for dairy-free)
- 1/2 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 3/4 cup coconut flour (80 g)
- 1/4 cup ground flaxseed (25 g)
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp xanthan gum
- 1/4 cup Monk Fruit Allulose brown sugar substitute, packed (50 g)
- 1/3 cup unsweetened almond milk (or coconut milk for nut-free)
- 2.5 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1 tsp pumpkin liquid stevia or vanilla stevia
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp maple extract
- 5 large eggs, room temperature
- Optional: sugar-free chocolate chips for topping
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×4-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
- Melt butter in a light-colored skillet over medium heat, stirring until it browns and smells nutty. Remove from heat.
- Transfer browned butter to a mixing bowl. Add pumpkin puree, coconut flour, flaxseed, baking powder, salt, xanthan gum, and sweetener. Mix well.
- Warm almond milk in the butter skillet to loosen browned bits, then pour into the mixing bowl.
- Add pumpkin pie spice, stevia, vanilla, and maple extract. Mix on low until smooth.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing between each addition. Stir in chocolate chips if using.
- Spread batter evenly in the loaf pan.
- Bake for 40–45 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool in pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Brown butter adds rich, nutty flavor — watch closely so it doesn’t burn.
- Coconut flour cannot be substituted 1:1 with other flours.
- Let bread cool fully before slicing to prevent crumbling.
- For best results, use eggs at room temperature.
