PUMPKIN BREAD, MUFFIN_gluten free, 0 sugar

Pumpkin Bread Made with Coconut Flour
MUFFIN AND BREAD RECIPE






















Bruce Fife’s coconut flour cookbook to try a modified version of his low carb and gluten free pumpkin bread recipe. I’ve had really good results in the past making low carb pumpkin pie and pumpkin bread sweetening only with stevia. However, since erythritol gives sugar-free desserts a better taste I blended it in with the stevia. When using coconut flour for baked goods, the amount of eggs needed is typically 4 times the amount used for regular wheat flour. Surprisingly, though, breads and cakes made with coconut flour do not come out with any egg taste. Coconut flour really is a great substitute for wheat flour, especially for those on a gluten free diet. I highly recommend the cookbook Cooking with Coconut Flour: A Delicious Low-Carb, Gluten-Free Alternative to Wheat written by Bruce Fife, N.D. for those wanting a lower carb alternative to wheat flour. Although the recipes aren’t written to be low carb, they can easily be converted using alternative ingredients.

Pumpkin Bread Made with Coconut Flour

This pumpkin bread turned out very moist. I used coconut oil because I think it is healthier than butter. I liked the nuts in it, but I’m sure they can be left out for those who don’t like nuts in their bread. The bread wasn’t overly sweet so a bit more erythritol and/or stevia could be added for those who want it sweeter.
