Sugar Free Pumpkin Gingerbread

A delicious recipe Sugar Free Pumpkin Gingerbread that is easy to make at home.

I must say that this is one of those recipes that tastes as good as it smells baking in the oven!
 

Sugar Free Pumpkin Gingerbread

 
This is a must-bake fall bread around my house.

I love how this bread tastes when it is warm and just out of the oven.
 

This recipe does remind me of my recipe for Sugar Free Chocolate Chip Bread.

That bread is the perfect marriage of autumn pumpkin bread with a sprinkling of sugar free chocolate chips.
This bread is the quintessential fall into holiday season bread.

This recipe is for anyone asking how do you make pumpkin bread from scratch.

To be honest, this pumpkin bread recipe is a autumnal version of a quick bread.
This means that this bread is leavened with baking soda rather than with yeast.

This pumpkin bread comes without adding any sugar to it.

To be honest, the only sugar that is added to this recipe comes from the pumpkin itself.
You should know that one cup of pumpkin has about three grams of sugar and nets out to about seven grams of carbs.

 

While this is a sugar free pumpkin recipe, you could also make this a keto or low carb pumpkin bread.

To lower the net carbs of this bread you will need to sub out the All Purpose Flour.

To make this low carb, use a low carb all purpose flour.
Also, to make this keto use a keto all purpose flour.

Lastly, to make this recipe gluten free, use an all purpose gluten free flour.
Also, if you are using Almond flour, please add an additional egg to the batter to aid in the binding process. I suggest anyone using any of the all purpose flour alternatives check the packaging to see if an additional egg or other binder for gluten free baking is needed as well.

 

Here are some tips for making pumpkin bread.

I just mentioned that this bread can be made lower in carbs or gluten free. To do so you will need to use a low carb all purpose flour, keto all purpose flour , or use an all purpose gluten free flour.

Here are some more helpful tips for you.

1. This recipe is made without without adding molasses as molasses does have sugar in it. If you really must have molasses in it, and many gingerbread enthusiasts like to, try adding a teaspoon or two for the vanilla extract.
2. While this is technically a bread, it can be served as a dessert. You can easily top this bread with sugar free icing drizzled on top and serve it. I also have a sugar free glaze recipe that could work.
3. Yes, this is a bread recipe that uses a basic bread loaf pan to bake it in. However, you could use a mini loaf pan or even muffin pan for baking. You may need to adjust baking times if you do.

 

Here is how to make pumpkin puree.

Preheat the oven to 325 and cut a small pumpkin in half (some folks like a sweet or baking pumpkin as they have more meat in them). Remove the stem, seeds, and pulp. Cover both of the halves with foil and bake for an hour or until tender. Then while the pumpkin meat is still warm, scoop it from the pumpkin and puree it until done. You can freeze this away for later use!!

• Baking Powder- ¼ teaspoon.
• Ground Cinnamon- ½ teaspoon.
• Cloves- ½ teaspoon ground.
• Ground Ginger- 1 ½ teaspoons.
• Allspice- ½ teaspoon.
• Oil- ½ cup + ½ tablespoon (9 tablespoons total). Vegetable or Canola are good choices.
• Sugar Alternative- Equivalent to 1 cup of sugar. Please use a granular sugar alternative that measures 1:1 with sugar.
• Brown Sugar Alternative- ½ cup. Please use a granular brown sugar alternative that measures like regular brown sugar. You can find granular brown sugar alternatives here. If you prefer, simply use an extra ½ cup of the white sugar alternative and omit the brown sugar alternative in this recipe.

How to make Sugar Free Pumpkin Gingerbread.

 

• Preheat your oven to 325 and prep a loaf pan well. Using two methods works well- for example, grease and flour over the grease.
• In a medium bowl, use a fork or a whisk to mix together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, cloves, ground ginger and allspice. Set this bowl aside.
• Next, in a mixing bowl, blend together the oil with the sugar alternatives. Then beat in the eggs, one at a time. Lastly, stir in the water with the pumpkin puree and vanilla extract.
• For the next step, we will add the dry ingredients from the first bowl (flour, etc) to the mixing bowl. Do this by adding half of the dry ingredients at a time, stirring between additions.Mix until just blended, do not over-mix.
• Bake this bread for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
