Easy Keto Pumpkin Bread

Easy keto pumpkin bread is all the rage around here.

While we are usually a zucchini nut-bread family, we must switch it up in the fall!

When I first started the keto diet, I ate no baked goods. My breakfasts were pretty hard-core, with only meats, eggs, and maybe some veggies.

Once my husband started doing keto with me last month, I knew that wouldn’t fly with him.

He was used to eating Hot Pockets, Toasters Strudels, Doughnuts, and anything loaded with carbs and slapped with a breakfast label.

Even though I saw everyone else using coconut flour, almond flour, and sugar alcohols, I felt it had to be too good to be true.

Thankfully, I was wrong.

I started making breakfasts for my husband that included many of the ingredients listed above, and I just knew I would be hungry throughout the day or craving more and more of these foods, but I didn’t.

Now, I’m a believer, and I have started re-creating all of our old favorites using different ingredients.

Today I made pumpkin bread for the first time since starting the keto diet, and it was both an easy experience and a hilarious one.

The life of a food blogger seems so great until you’re up at 4:30 am trying to make breakfast and lunch for your husband while hoping you can squeeze time in to get some great photos for your blog.

This morning I cooked fried chicken with bacon and this pumpkin bread.

What happened next was both hilarious and quite a disaster.

After baking my bread for 60 minutes, I tested it with a toothpick, and it seemed to be done.

I pulled it out and let it cool while I took pictures of my keto-fried chicken.

I decided to go ahead and snap some photos of the bread before I pulled it out of the pan (I don’t care for pan pics) and then decided to go ahead and plate it so I could slice it and showcase it in all its glory.

Instead of using a plate, I flipped it onto a cooling rack.

I noticed that it seemed heavier than usual, but I figured it was the difference in the flours.

Then it happened.

It fell out of the pan with force and was NOT fully cooked.

Surprisingly the part that wasn’t cooked through held together pretty well, but its weight sent the top of the bread right through the cooling rack.

Oh man, what a mess. Since I like to keep it real, I’ll show you what it looks like at the bottom of this post! 🙂

I think ten more minutes would have given me a beautiful pumpkin bread.

So there’s your lesson for today, check the bottom of the bread, you may even have to slice it in the pan to check it, but it needs to be done!
