Are you ready for pumpkin spice season? I am!! In fact I can enjoy pumpkin spice all year round-I really love it!  This Skinny Pumpkin Bread is one of those recipes that can be enjoyed year round! Perfect for breakfast, a midday snack, or even as dessert! 

What do ingredients do I need for this Skinny Pumpkin Bread?

Wheat, White All-Purpose Flour or Self Rising Flour:

After testing and making my base bread recipes a zillion times, I’ve been able to master the texture and taste.  I like to use self rising flour along with 1 tsp of baking powder, 1 tsp baking soda. The added baking powder and soda makes this loaf or muffins rise better and makes them nice and fluffy.  Now, there’s a fine line here-because too much baking powder or soda can cause the loaf or muffins to collapse and sink when removed from the oven. So, if that may happen-simply reduce or omit the 1 tsp baking powder and soda.  You could also use Wheat Flour or All-Purpose Flour.

Gluten-Free Flour:

If you are looking for a gluten free option, you can substitute the self rising flour for gluten free flour

Almond Flour:

If you are looking for a low carb option, you can substitute the self rising flour for Almond flour 

What sweetener to use?

I use Lakanto Classic Monkfuit Sweetener and Lakanto Golden Monkfruit Sweetener in my baking recipes. The Classic is a zero point white granulated sugar substitute and the the Golden is a zero point brown sugar substitute.  Lakanto MonkFruit Sweetener is a zero glycemic, zero calorie and all natural sugar substitute. It is by far the best tasting sugar alternative and has zero aftertaste or gritty texture like some of the sugar alternatives have. It has a 1:1 ratio to real sugar-so if you were to use a different sugar substitute you will want to use the measurement that would be equal to real sugar. If you use a different sugar alternative you’ll want to check the point value on the brand you use. They can vary in points. 

TASTES just like sugar | Zero net carbs, Zero calorie, Zero glycemic Sweetener

1:1 SUGAR REPLACEMENT | Lakanto has a perfect mix of monkfruit and erythritol to match the sweetness of sugar and maintain your baking and cooking needs

It’s WW FRIENDLY,  Keto, Diabetic, Candida, Paleo, Vegan, Low Carb, Low Sugar, NON-GMO, and All Natural.

How do I make this Skinny Pumpkin Bread?

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9X5 bread pan with nonstick cooking spray or 12 cup muffin tin. Set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk the self rising flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and mix together until combined. 

In a separate bowl combine, whisk the egg, granulated white sugar substitute, brown sugar substitute, vanilla extract, and pumpkin.

Stir until well combined.

Gradually add wet ingredients into the dry ingredients as you stir.

Before the two are completely incorporated add in melted butter or unsweetened applesauce.

Stir just until JUST combined.

DO NOT OVER MIX. (The number one tip is to not over mix or it will ruin the texture)

Pour into prepared loaf pan or 12 cup muffin tin. 

Bake for 40-45 minutes if making loaf or 15-18 minutes if making muffins or until an inserted knife or toothpick comes out clean.

Remove from oven. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan or muffin tin.

Delicious! Turned out perfectly. I dusted the top very very lightly with cinnamon sugar. I’ll definitely making this again.

Made this today, it took a lot longer to bake as the inside was still wet. I had to cover it so it wouldn’t burn on top. Finally tried an end piece and it was quite delicious, thank you!

This was good as bread but amazing the next day as French toast with just a little whip topping. I will be making again!
