Ingredient Notes

While most pumpkin cream cheese bread recipes add a middle layer of sweetened cream cheese filling, we are going to mix all of that creamy goodness right inside the batter so you will get that creamy flavor in every single bite of bread. 

• cream cheese - softened. Used full-fat cream cheese for keto, some brands are 0 carbs.
• butter - softened
• eggs
• erythritol- brands like Swerve are popular or you can substitute monk fruit.
• pumpkin purée- make sure to buy unsweetened pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie filling
• almond flour - both almond flour and coconut flour and necessary for this recipe, you can't replace either since they have different moisture contents.
• coconut flour
• pumpkin pie spice
• baking powder
• salt
• optional garnishes - powdered sweetener, nuts, keto whipped cream

Variations

• Feel free to mix in sugar free chocolate chips!
• Add a cream cheese frosting instead of sprinkling the loaf with powdered sugar

Step by Step Instructions

Like most homemade slices of bread, we are going to start by combining our wet ingredients, then our dry. After incorporating both together, we will let the oven transform this heavenly batter into a mouthwatering low carb pumpkin bread recipe.

Prep Ingredients

Soften the butter and cream cheese prior to using them. You can let them sit out on the counter for 30-60 minutes before you start baking, or use your microwave in short increments at reduced power.

Preheat the oven to 350 and make sure your oven rack is in the center.

Line 2 bread pans with parchment paper. Grease both pans.

Assemble

Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, blend the erythritol, softened butter, and softened cream cheese until light and fluffy.

Add the eggs and pumpkin puree and mix until well combined.

Mix the dry ingredients (almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, salt, pumpkin pie spice) in a separate bowl, and then add all of it to the wet ingredients. Blend either with the mixer or by hand until it’s just combined.

Pour the pumpkin cheese bread batter into two greased 9 x 5 loaf pans.

Bake

Bake the keto pumpkin bread recipe on the middle oven rack for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Start checking the loaf after it’s baked for 50 minutes since all ovens cook slightly differently and you don’t want to overcook this.

Let cool on a cooling rack for 5 minutes before removing the loaves from the pans. Don't slice the low-carb sugar free pumpkin bread until it's completely cooled.

Each loaf will make 12 slices. Sometimes I'll cut the bread into 8 slices for extra-thick pieces. 24 servings in total between two loaves. Enjoy!

Recipe Tips

• Inserting parchment paper into the bottom of your loaf pan makes for super easy removal of the bread after it's baked. I ended up making multiple batches, and while the photo below doesn't show parchment paper in it, the loaf I DID add to the parchment paper was much easier to get out of the pan!
• Softening the butter and cream cheese prior to using them is vital to getting a soft, creamy, and smooth batter.
• Be careful that you don't over-beat the batter when combining the wet and dry ingredients, it will prevent it from rising as much in the oven.
• The loaf started browning faster by using almond flour/ coconut flour/erythritol as compared to pumpkin bread with all-purpose flour and granulated sugar. Feel free to tent foil over the top halfway through cooking if you feel the sugar free pumpkin bread recipe is browning too quickly.
• Wait to slice the keto pumpkin bread until it's completely cooled, otherwise, it won't cut into nice slices since keto-friendly ingredients make it slightly more crumbly.
• Not all pumpkin pie spices are alike. I like to use Trader Joes Pumpkin Pie Spice, which contains more cloves than some other brands. If you have a pie spice that omits cloves (or only has them in the allspice added) you can add an additional ¼ teaspoon of cloves to spice up your muffins.

Instructions

 

• Soften the cream cheese and the butter before you start this recipe, I usually let this ingredients it out on the counter for at least 30-60 minutes before I start. 
• Preheat the oven to 350 and make sure your oven rack is in the center.
• Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, blend the monk fruit (or erythritol), softened butter, and softened ream cheese until light and fluffy.
• Add the eggs and pumpkin puree and mix until well combined.
• Mix the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, salt, pumpkin pie spice) in a separate bowl, and then add all of it to the wet ingredients.

• Inserting parchment paper into the bottom of your loaf pan makes for super easy removal of the bread after it's baked.
• Pour the pumpkin cheese bread batter into two greased 9 x 5 loaf pans.
• Bake on the middle oven rack for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the keto pumpkin cream cheese bread comes out clean. Start checking your loaf after it’s baked 50 minutes since all ovens cook slightly differently and you don’t want to over cook this.
• Let cool on a cooling rack 5 minutes before removing the loaves from the pans. And hold off on slicing the low carb gluten free pumpkin bread until it's completely cooled, or it might crumble or fall apart. Each loaf serves 12.

Notes

Use softened butter and cream cheese.

Don’t over beat dry mixture, you generally just want to mix the batter until just combined once you add dry ingredients.

Inserting parchment paper into the loaf pan makes it super easy to remove the pumpkin bread loaf.

The loaf started browning faster by using the almond flour/ coconut flour/erythritol as compared to a pumpkin bread with all-purpose flour and granulated sugar. You’re free to tent foil over the top half way through cooking if you feel your pumpkin bread is browning too quickly.

Wait to slice the keto pumpkin bread until it's completely cooled, otherwise it won't cut into nice slices since using low carb ingredients makes it slightly more crumbly.

Not all pumpkin pie spices are alike. I like to use Trader Joes Pumpkin Pie Spice, which contains more cloves than some other brands. If you have a pumpkin pie spice that omits cloves (or only has them in the allspice added) you can add an additional ¼ teaspoon of cloves to spice up your bread.
