This Paleo Pumpkin Bread recipe is a staple for the holidays. It’s gluten-free, dairy-free, extremely moist, deliciously spiced and smells amazing coming out of the oven. It’s a one-bowl, no-fail recipe that you’ll make again and again.

I rarely have recipes turn out perfect on first attempt, but this paleo pumpkin bread recipe did just that. Want to know why? Because it’s a modified version of my Paleo Zucchini Bread and Paleo Banana Bread – recipes that

This recipe is easy to make and pretty foolproof, but it always helps to watch a quick step-by-step tutorial video. Give it a watch below!

Perfect Paleo Pumpkin Bread Recipe

The base on this paleo pumpkin bread recipe stays the same as my previous quick bread recipes – almond flour, tapioca flour, baking soda, salt, butter (or coconut oil) and vanilla extract.

But instead of mashed bananas we’ll used organic canned pumpkin and instead of honey we’ll use maple syrup. Then, we’ll add a good amount of pumpkin spice and call it a day.

The best part about this recipe is that it only takes one bowl. Just add all the ingredients into a mixing bowl and use a hand mixer to quickly blend everything together. Pour it into your loaf pan (you can get fancy with this loaf pan) and place it in the oven. Super easy.

When it comes out of the oven your kitchen will smell divine. And needless to say, it’s the perfect breakfast bread to serve up for Thanksgiving. Or any fall weekend.

I top my Paleo Pumpkin Bread with a little sprinkle of homemade powdered sugar to finish it off, but that step is purely optional.

I’d also recommend serving it up alongside some freshly brewed Chemex Coffee for some mighty happy family members during the holidays. Or for the kids, serve it up with my homemade Cashew Milk.

Healthy Pumpkin Bread

Every year, when October rolls around, I wake up in the morning hoping to see leaves that have just changed colors from green to brown on our lawn.

Since we live in Southern California, in the desert not to mention, that does not happen. The best I can do to honor the Fall season is make this fabulous paleo pumpkin bread as often as possible.

Ever since I first made this recipe, I’ve been craving this bread for breakfast, snack time and dessert all damn day. I think it’s because it has the perfect amount of sweetness to it, and I don’t feel like I’m truly indulging when I am chowing down.

The Best Pumpkin Bread You Have Ever Had

My favorite way to eat it is lightly toasted in our countertop and slathered with a bit of grass-fed butter. Trust me on this one, it’s a total game changer.

I’ve discovered that using raw cashews –> ground up into flour is one of the most delicious, rich and light (at the same time) bases for many baked goods.

Raw cashews are so versatile, as I’ve also used them in vegan cheesecakes & inside smoothies and ice creams- yes! Seriously, they’re the best. Once you’ve used them instead of almond flour for your loaves, you won’t look back.

Over the course of oneweek, I have made easy paleo pumpkin bread three times already. Last Thursday, I went with my sister and best friend to Mumford & Sons in San Diego.

I split the loaf into thirds: left one third for myself and my husband and gave the other two thirds to my sister and friend. We finished nearly everything before we got into the concert.

Later on this week, my friend Rachel over atBakeritais coming over again, and we are making four different flavors of marshmallows. I know, I know- that sounds crazy… and it is!

Can I just say- Marcus Mumford &Sons (because that’s what the band should really be called) are better live than in any of their recordings. I swear. I’ve already been listening to their live sets ever since instead of their albums.

In fact, my sister and I caught ourselves lightly crying during a few of their songs; it was that epic. Thank you Marcus for moving me so, and thank you so much easy paleo pumpkin bread for keeping me afloat during this earth shattering performance.

Paleo Pumpkin Bread With Spiced Swirl (gluten Free)

Preheat the oven to 325°F (162°C). Adjust the oven rack to the middle position. Lightly coat the bottom of a 9x5” loaf pan with extra ghee or oil.

Cut a piece of parchment paper to fit the length of the bottom of the pan and leave some extra parchment hanging over the sides so you can easily lift the loaf out.

Simple

To make cashew flour, pulse raw cashews in a food processor, a few seconds at a time, until they resemble a coarse flour. You don’t want any visible chunks of cashews. This should take about 1 minute.

Paleo Pumpkin Bread With Streusel Topping

Add coconut flour, spices, salt and baking soda into the food processor. Pulse several times, until well mixed. Add coconut sugar, pumpkin puree, ghee, canned coconut milk, vanilla, and eggs.

Process for another 30-45 seconds until well combined. Scrape down the sides if necessary during this process to make sure everything has been well incorporated.

Using a spatula, transfer the pumpkin mixture to the prepared loaf pan. Tap it on the counter multiple times to release any air bubbles and smooth over the top with an offset spatula.

Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. A few crumbs are okay, but you don’t want any raw batter. Let the bread cool in the pan before using a knife to loosen it around the edges and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve.

If you do not have access to raw cashews or do not want to use them, substitute 1 1/4 cups almond flour instead.

Be sure to leave the pumpkin bread inside the pan to cool off completely before transferring it to a wire rack. If it is too warm, it will fall apart in the process.

Recipe: The Best Healthy Paleo Pumpkin Bread

I’m a proud connoisseur of pumpkin breads, so my expectations for this loaf were exceptionally high. It needed to be moist but not mushy (a hard balance with many Paleo baked goods), healthy but not bland, and every bite needed to sing with spice. It also needed to stand out among the orange array of other pumpkin bread recipes and pumpkin muffin recipes I’ve previously shared, of which there are, admittedly, many.

Committing to a single pumpkin bread recipe would be like committing to a single pair of boots. IMPOSSIBLE. You need more than one! I love each of the pumpkin bread recipes equally, but differently.

Paleo Pumpkin Bread is the recipe for when you want your pumpkin bread to be as densely moist as possible, you’re looking for a low-carb pumpkin bread, and/or you feel like trying something different and delicious.
