Cuisine: American
Serves: 1 loaf
Ingredients
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup flaxseed meal
- 3 large eggs
- 1/4 cup erythritol
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, flaxseed meal, eggs, and erythritol. Mix until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the pumpkin mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
- Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips
- Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature for the best mixing consistency.
- Don't overmix the batter - stir just until the ingredients are combined to keep the bread tender.
- For extra moisture, you can add a tablespoon of Greek yogurt to the wet ingredients.
- Check the bread's doneness a few minutes early - ovens can vary, and you want to avoid drying out the loaf.
- Let the bread cool completely before slicing to help it maintain its structure.
- Store the bread in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage.
- For added nutrition, consider sprinkling some extra flaxseeds on top of the batter before baking.
