Refined coconut oil is much better. Used raisins and pecans, and next time think I'll just use the pecans. My friends have gone nuts for this!

 @Songbird9 Sounds delicious!  Can't wait to try it with your adaptations :)

Made this with butter, and will go back to the coconut oil. It does seem to bring out more flavor. I do miss raisins and pecans in pumpkin bread, so may make an agave nectar syrup with raisins, pecans and?

 @Songbird9 Change your coconut oil to refined and it won't have the coconut flavor but will still be super moist.  Go right ahead and add raisins (organic if possible) and pecans (chopped)!  Sounds delicious!

Made this yesterday. Used agave nectar instead of honey, and it worked great. Cannot believe how moist it is. I am going to try butter instead of coconut oil next time, as I prefer not to have any coconut flavor. Has anyone tried to add raisins to this?

Hey Debbie, keep in mind...I have not experimented with either of those flours, so it would be an experiment :) I would try either, brown rice flour might be a little sweeter. Let us know how it turns out. What kind of pie crust are you looking for sweet or traditional pie crust?

Traditional, something to make a T-day fresh pumpkin pie with.

I want to make this today but I don't have almond flour. I see that you said oat flour would be okay and I have brown rice too. Which would you suggest, a combination of the two?...Then, any changes to the recipe? Also, do you have a pie crust recipe Halle?

I roasted mine and then mashed it. Cut in half, take seeds out and roast face down in about 1/4" water in a 375F oven for about 40-50 minutes or until soft

Hey Jan, I have another pumpkin bread out there with coconut flour...I was trying for a different texture with this bread. Coconut flour can get dry, with the almond flour it is super moist. I bet it would work out nicely to use a combination. I tried to make some pumpkin pancakes tonight with coconut flour and although they had great flavor, they were a huge flop...will try again maybe with the coconut flour and almond flour...will keep you posted :)

Halle, did you try any versions testing coconut flour in conjunction with (or in lieu of) the almond flour alone?

I think it would work just fine Jane. Brown rice flour is a little sweeter. Give it a try and see :) Let us know how it works! Also, the batter should be very thick.

Halle, would oat flour or brown rice flour work instead of almound flour. I need to replace it.

Halle,
Would you consider posting the P/F/C totals for those of us on the DSP? It would be appreciated!

I wish I could, but that would just take to much time. One recipe can take me about a half hour to input all the ingredients and instructions. You might want to suggest that on Isabel's website :)
