        I’m not sure that would work Wendy. Almond flour has a different fat ratio and consistency of that of a regular flour.

    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 🙂

    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!

    I made this tonight! Baked my first pumpkin and I thought i was going to mess it but but how exactly do you do that? Right? So i used rice flour instead of the almond, I couldn’t find the other. It turned out pretty good! I think maybe it could be a little sweeter, i might try adding a little more vanilla next time, it was a little bland, but non the less, it tastes REALLY good! For  my first organic recipe I have to say I think it turned out pretty good! I also might try cheating next time and put a sweet glaze over the top and see how it turns out. Thank you for sharing this, I will definitely be trying more of your recipes!

    I used to make just a regular pumpkin bread recipe (unorganic) and I would add a box of dried instant french vanilla pudding mix in it and everyone loved it. Now I am cooking organically and want to make this recipe for my children and grandchildren but I cant use the vanilla pudding. Can i substitute it with Vanilla powder? If so, do you know how much i should add?

    This is very moist, but mine came out sort of flavorless and not sweet at all. I would definitely add some sweetener to the mix. Too bad because it would have been delicious if it weren’t bland.

    FYI, agave nectar is as bad or worse than high fructose corn syrup and will give you a fatty liver. Just because it doesn’t increase blood sugar or insulin (because it is not glucose, but fructose) doesn’t make it healthy.

    I agree that this was rather bland, however the texture/crumb/moistness was GREAT! I’m going to make it again and try increasing the amount of spice and use 1/2 cup honey instead of just 1/4 cup. I don’t like things that are overly sweet at all but do feel this could use a tad bit more sweetness. Will also try adding some chopped nuts and mini chocolate chips at some point because I love the addition of chocolate to almost any baked good. Great recipe, Halle, thanks so much for sharing!

    I had a hard time getting out of pan and my first impression of tasting it was “meh”. Then I put it in fridge overnight, tried next day and it was a very different experience! The flavors had set up and chilling this very moist bread made it easier to eat as it’s quite delicate and falls apart easily. I’m making another one today—thank you for a great recipe.

    I have been looking for a pumpkin recipe made with almond flour and I came across this today. I grew up eating my mother’s pumpkin bread, which I loved and have made myself, dozens and dozens of times. But her recipe came off the back of the Libby’s can and called for white flour and white sugar and margerine (!!). I tweaked it to be a bit healthier by using whole wheat pastry flour, freshly roasted pumpkin, butter, and reducing the sugar a good bit. However as I’ve gotten older I’ve become quite hypoglycemic and so have cut out most baking, but I missed pumpkin bread. I made another almond flour pumpkin bread recipe last week, but it was a heavy, dense brick. So after reading all the comments here and doing some reading about GF baking in my America’s Test Kitchen paleo cookbook, I tweaked this recipe. I used 1-3/4 cup almond flour and 1/4 cup arrowroot flour. I used 1/2 cup honey as suggested in the comments, and tripled the spices. After combining everything in the food processor I let the batter sit while I preheated the oven (America’s Test Kitchen says the arrowroot needs time to absorb liquid). After 50 minutes in the oven it had risen up beautifully and smelled wonderful, but my knife came out with batter on it. It needed about an hour and ten minutes total before it was done. I couldn’t wait for it to cool completely and just ate a big slice. Amazing!! The texture is perfect. I think it needs even more cinnamon — the spices are very subtle. But I’m super happy with how it turned out and bet it will be even tastier tomorrow.

    I am looking for a non sweet moist bread and this looks like a great option. I notice many comments wanted it sweeter, maybe because they are seeking traditional pumpkin sweet bread? I would love a bread just for any use like sandwich or to add topping such as a avacado. Is this recommended or do you have another recipe you recommend. I like that this one only has 3 eggs.

    Use the ballet to make some oat flour. Half almondand half oat. Substitute walnut oil for flavor and omega 3. If it’s still to bland for you make a hazelnut/honey/walnut oil crumb for the top before you throw it in the oven.
