Ingredients
  

  • 1½ cups / 168g (5.9 oz) almond flour
  • 1 cup (245 g / 8.6 oz) pumpkin puree
  • ½ cup (120 ml / 4.1 fl oz) full-fat coconut milk
  • ¼ cup (50 g / 1.76 oz) granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup (24 g / 0.85 oz) psyllium husk powder
  • 3 large egg whites
  • 1½ tsp. / 4g (0.14 oz) pumpkin pie spice
  • 2 tsp . / 8g (0.28 oz) baking powder
  • ½ tsp . / 3g (0.11 oz) salt
  • For the lightest texture, ensure your egg whites are at room temperature and whipped to stiff, glossy peaks before folding them into the batter.
  • Feel free to add mix-ins like ½ cup of sugar-free chocolate chips or chopped pecans to the batter for extra texture and flavor.

Method
 

  1. Directions1.
  2. Preheat your oven to 350°F / 175°C.
  3. Place a small, oven-safe container filled with 1 cup (240 ml) of water on the bottom rack to create a steamy environment. 2.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together all the dry : almond flour, granulated sugar, psyllium husk powder, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, and salt. 3.
  5. Add the pumpkin puree and coconut milk to the dry .
  6. Mix with a spatula until a thick, uniform dough forms. 4.
  7. In a separate, clean bowl, use a hand mixer to whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form. This is key for a lighter, airier loaf. 5. Gently fold the whisked egg whites into the pumpkin dough in two or three additions. Be careful not to overmix and deflate the air. 6.
  8. Transfer the batter to a greased 8x4 inch loaf pan and smooth the top.
  9. Bake for 70-75 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. 7.
  10. Let the loaf cool in the pan for 15 minutes before carefully transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
  11. Don't skip the pan of water in the oven! The steam helps the loaf rise and prevents the crust from becoming too dry or cracking.
  12. Let the loaf cool completely before slicing. Breads made with almond flour and psyllium husk are delicate when warm and will firm up as they cool, giving you cleaner slices.
