Serving: 16

Prep Time: 10 min

Cook Time: 45 min

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Blanched Almond Flour
  • 1/2 cup Coconut Flour
  • 1/2 cup Monk Fruit Allulose Blend
  • 2 tsp Pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 Tbsp Baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 3/4 cup 100% Pure pumpkin puree
  • 4 Large eggs (lightly beaten)
  • 1/3 cup Unsalted melted butter (use coconut oil for dairy-free)
  • 2 Tbsp Pumpkin seeds (raw, unsalted, shelled)

Instructions

1: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Line an 8x4 (20 cm x10 cm) loaf pan with parchment paper, so that the paper hangs over two opposite sides (for easy removal later).

2. In a large bowl, mix together the almond flour, coconut flour, monk fruit allullose blend, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, and sea salt.

3. Add the pumpkin puree, eggs, and melted butter. Mix until well combined.

4. Transfer the batter into the lined loaf pan and press evenly to make a smooth top. Sprinkle the top with pumpkin seeds and press them lightly into the surface.

5. Bake for 45-55 minutes, until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely before slicing.
