Ingredients:
2/3 cup sifted coconut flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/8 tsp. ginger
6 eggs
1/2 cup pumpkin puree
1/2 cup mashed, ripe banana (1 – 2 bananas, depending on size)
1/3 cup raw honey
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts, optional
1/2 cup raisins, optional
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a loaf pan with parchment paper.*
- Combine coconut flour, salt, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger in a bowl. Whisk to incorporate.
- Combine eggs, pumpkin puree, banana, honey and vanilla in a large mixing bowl. Mix well.
- Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients. Mix well with a whisk or hand blender. Fold in chopped nuts and/or raisins, if using.
- Pour into loaf pan lined with parchment paper.
- Bake at 350 degrees 45-60 minutes or until knife inserted comes out clean.
*I have tried greasing the pan a couple times and I just can’t get the bread to come out well. Hence, the parchment paper recommendation.

Wow
I was looking for a recipe to make for my sons for before school.
This hit the spot, it has plenty of fiber, protein, not too much sugar and it’s DELICIOUS.
Now it’s going to be hard to keep it around for just them!!
I’ll definitely be making more!
Thanks!!!

Hello, do you measure coconut flour before or after sifting? Have you tried replacing banana with applesauce? For me, banana always overpowers everything. Thank you!

Can I eliminate the banana if I just want plain pumpkin bread?

Can almond flour be used to substitute for the coconut flour?

Not without changing other amounts as well. Coconut flour needs more eggs to help hold it together so if you used almond flour you would take out a few of the eggs…not sure beyond that.

We are fairly new to eating Paleo and have tried many recipes only to regret spending the time to make them. Your recipe was so simple and delicious that I’ve made 3 loaves so far, with reave reviews! The last loaf I made I put dark chocolate chips in. YUM! Looking forward to trying more of your recipes! Thank you 🙂

This is delicious! I used greek yogurt in place of the pumpkin, used the 3 Tbls flax & water in place of 3 eggs (thank you Lindsey Wilson for your comment above), whipped the remaining 3 egg whites and added 1/4 cup coconut oil. Oiled my pan w/ more coconut oil and the bread came out no problem! 🙂

adding a few table spoons of melted organic coconut oil/butter will allow the bread to release from the pan and adds nutrition.
