Paleo Pumpkin Bread is a healthy dense bread that is also gluten free, dairy free, grain free, and soy free. It has a vast amount of potassium, so it is great for those muscles and is sweet enough to make your pesky sweet tooth happy.
I have been trying to remove refined sugars and grains from my diet along with dairy. That doesn’t change the fact that I like my baked goods and usually want something sweet once a day. This means I have been going through my favorite recipes and redoing them to be paleo and gluten free. Using pure maple syrup or honey in place of granulate or brown sugar. Using Almond, Tapioca and Coconut Flour in place of All-purpose flour. The dairy is easily replaced with full-fat coconut milk.
Taking out the sugars, grains and dairy from your diet can be challenging, but it is a whole lot easier if you can still enjoy a sweet slice of pumpkin bread.
One of my favorite fall recipes on this blog is my healthy pumpkin bread, however, the recipe calls for whole wheat flour, brown sugar, and greek yogurt, so I played around and rewrote it so that it is now paleo, gluten free, grain free, dairy free and soy free. This Paleo Pumpkin Bread is just as moist and delicious as the original recipe, but denser.

Officially running to my kitchen to make this … looks SO GOOD!
This sounds divine Amy. Love the coconut cream in it.
I just made this recipe and it’s amazing! I don’t eat any grains or sugar (including honey and maple syrup), so in place of the maple syrup I pureed dates in a little water. I normally use recipes that have an almond butter or flour base, because I do not like the flavor of coconut flour. Surprisingly I cannot taste the coconut flour in this bread! This recipe seems very versatile, which means banana bread might be next 🙂
How do you get coconut cream and not the coconut water?
Dana, When you open the can the cream sits on top. Use a spoon slide it along the edge of the can until you get to the bottom and then scoop up and you will pull the cream. Place the cream in a bowl and the coconut water will remain in the can. You can drink this (just like the coconut water they sell in the stores).

I wish I had some of this goodness in front of me right this second!! I love how healthy you’ve made it! Awesomesauce! 😉
I definitely don’t follow a Paleo diet, but I can still get behind this amazing-looking bread! This is next on my “To Bake” list!
This bread looks insanely delicious! I usually try to make a recipe without sugar and grains as well but sometimes it just doesn’t work in my favor. But this bread will solve my problems as it reminds me of Starbucks Pumpkin bread…which is the bomb. YUM!
what a gorgeous loaf, can’t believe it’s actually good for you too
What made you decide to remove the grains, dairy, and refined sugar?
I tried at the beginning of this year but I love breads too much. Every time I would make something grain free the texture would end up weird, so I gave up. This bread however looks totally different so I might give it a try. Love how you mixed almond, tapioca, and coconut flour maybe thats the trick. 🙂
I LOVE how you made this SO healthy. Pumpkin bread is a favorite, but I can never find a nice, clean recipe that tastes amazing. Just by looking at this recipe, I know yours is incr-EDIBLE! Pinned!
