Ingredients

Dry

  • 1 1/2 cups blanched almond flour
  • 1/3 cup coconut flour
  • 2/3 cup brown monk fruit sweetener
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 2 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Wet

  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree (not pie filling)
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Fold in

  • 1/3 cup chopped pecans

Directions

  1. Heat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk the almond flour, coconut flour, brown monk fruit, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice and salt, breaking up any lumps.
  3. In another bowl, whisk the pumpkin, eggs, melted butter, almond milk and vanilla until smooth.
  4. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry until evenly combined. Let the batter rest 5 minutes so the coconut flour can absorb liquid. It will be thick.
  5. Fold in most of the pecans, spread the batter in the pan and sprinkle the rest on top.
  6. Bake 55 to 65 minutes, until the top is deep golden and a skewer in the center comes out clean. Tent with foil after 40 minutes if it is browning fast.
  7. Cool in the pan 20 minutes, then lift out and cool completely before cutting into 12 slices. It is fragile while warm.
Tip: No pumpkin pie spice? Use 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp ginger, 1/4 tsp nutmeg and a pinch of cloves.
Dad jokeWhat do you call a pumpkin loaf that tells great stories? A real gourd-teller.
