Grain Free Pumpkin Bread
As the leaves change and the crisp fall air sets in, there’s nothing better than the aroma of warm pumpkin spice wafting through your kitchen. But most traditional pumpkin breads are loaded with refined flour, sugar, and inflammatory oils—ingredients that don’t support our long-term wellness goals.That’s why I created this grain-free, dairy-free pumpkin bread that skips the sugar and oils but still delivers all the comforting flavors of fall. It’s made with almond flour and coconut flour to keep it gluten- and grain-free, uses stevia instead of maple syrup for a sugar-free option, and unsweetened applesauce for moisture instead of oil.
It’s the perfect companion to a cup of tea, a healthy snack, or a light breakfast—and it fits beautifully into a low-carb, high-protein lifestyle.
