Ingredients and substitutions
This recipe calls for pumpkin purée. I used store bought canned pumpkin purée this time but fresh works too if you prefer to use homemade. If you’re using canned, just make sure that there is no added sugar or any other ingredients besides pumpkin listed on the label (and don’t accidentally use pumpkin pie filling instead!).
This coconut flour pumpkin bread is sweetened with maple syrup. You can substitute honey instead if you prefer.
I used extra virgin olive oil as the fat in this coconut flour pumpkin bread. You can substitute melted coconut oil or avocado oil if you like.
Any brand of coconut flour should work in this recipe, but definitely do not substitute any other type of flour. And don’t substitute the six eggs in this recipe either. Six eggs may seem like a lot, but coconut flour is highly absorbent and works best when combined with plenty of eggs.
I used pumpkin pie spice to give this bread its warm, cozy fall flavor. If you can’t find pumpkin spice then you can substitute 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves.
How to make it
Start by preheating the oven, then add the eggs, pumpkin purée, olive oil, maple syrup, vinegar, salt, and pumpkin pie spice to a large mixing bowl. Use a whisk to mix well.
Add the coconut flour and baking soda and whisk until smooth.

Transfer the batter to a parchment paper lined medium sized loaf pan (mine is 9.25 x 5.25 x 2.75 inches), then use a spatula or the back of a spoon to even out the surface.

Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the loaf comes out clean.
Let the pumpkin bread cool completely before removing from the pan, then enjoy.
Storage
Store the bread in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days or freeze it for up to six months.
Optional additions
To give this pumpkin bread with coconut flour an extra layer of flavor and texture, add 1/2 cup of dark chocolate chips, raisins, pecans, walnuts, and/or chopped apples to the batter, if desired.
