Keto Pumpkin Bread
Pumpkin anything is my downfall, but a really great pumpkin bread is my MOST FAVORITE fall treat.
Time for Pumpkin, people
I love to use pumpkin in baking. It adds so much moisture to cakes and breads without a lot of extra fats, carbs or calories. I even add it to my coffee sometimes for a little extra creaminess and something special….my own homemade PSL.
For this recipe pumpkin is the star and it helps to create one of the best pumpkin breads I have EVER had.
A little extra crunch
To add a little something extra to this amazing pumpkin bread I topped it with spiced walnuts. Yes, spice walnuts. To take these walnuts to the next level I put them in a small saucepan with butter and pumpkin pie spice and let them toast up a bit.
If you do not want to add the walnuts you don’t have too, just bake as according to the instructions. If you wanted to use pecans instead of walnuts you could, they would be amazing.
Never know it is Keto/Low Carb
This pumpkin bread is so, so good no one would ever know it is Keto/Low Carb. With only 4 net Carbs per slice this is the perfect fall treat that everyone can enjoy.
I love to toast my slice in my toaster oven and top it with some butter for the perfect breakfast or afternoon treat. It is SO, SO good!
