Collagen Pumpkin Bread (Low Carb, Paleo)

This paleo collagen pumpkin bread is unsweetened, flourless, low carb and high in protein.  It has a light and airy texture, but is moist and holds up well in the fridge.  Better yet, this Keto friendly bread requires only 5 ingredients (but I added more to enhance the taste).  The pumpkin flavor is subtle, so this bread pairs well with anything sweet or savory.

Everyone needs a delicious unsweetened paleo bread recipe! And this collagen pumpkin bread is a great staple.

This low carb collagen bread has a subtle pumpkin flavor - perfect with any sweet or savory toppings. The texture is soft, tender and moist.

I love toasting a slice and spreading it with dairy free cream cheese or mashed avocado. Or, slathering on some sunflower seed butter and honey.

This is truly a simple, versatile bread. Better yet, it's packed with nutrients, super easy to make and stores well in the fridge.

Ingredients

This pumpkin collagen bread recipe requires only 5 ingredients.  It is unsweetened, flourless, grain free, gluten free and dairy free.  The ingredients include:

• almond butter (unsalted, unsweetened)
• eggs
• pumpkin puree
• vanilla extract (optional)
• collagen peptides
• baking soda
• cinnamon (optional)
• pumpkin pie spice (optional)
• pink salt (optional)

The vanilla extract, cinnamon, pumpkin spice and salt are optional ingredients but highly recommended for optimal taste.  Other add-ins that would work well with this recipe include: sweetener (maple syrup, monk fruit, coconut sugar...), chocolate chips, chopped nuts, etc.  If your almond butter is salted, then do not add extra salt to the batter.

If you don't have almond butter on hand or have an allergy/intolerance, then substituting the almond butter with any nut or seed butter should work. 

I recommend using collagen in this recipe (after all, this is COLLAGEN Pumpkin Bread) but most protein powders should work as a substitute. Just note, most protein powders will change the thickness of the batter and overall bread texture.

How to Make Collagen Bread

This flourless pumpkin bread recipe takes 5 minutes to throw together and 35 minutes to bake.  A super easy, one bowl kind of recipe!

First, gather all necessary ingredients and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.  Line an 8" x 4" baking pan with parchment paper and set aside.

Next, combine all wet ingredients in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Whisk until smooth. Then, add in the remaining ingredients and whisk until the batter is well combined.

Pour the batter into the lined loaf pan, then place the pan in the middle rack of your oven and bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes.  The loaf should rise when baking and then sink slightly in the middle when cooling.

Let the loaf cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer it to a wire cooling rack and cool to room temperature.  Slice and serve after it has cooled!

Best Pumpkin Bread Toppings

Since this is a no sugar pumpkin bread recipe, it works well with either sweet or savory toppings.  Try slathering it with some nut butter and a drizzle of honey.  Or, perhaps a dollop of dairy free yogurt and dark chocolate chips.  In addition, this loaf would be great made into French toast.

For some savory topping ideas: toast a slice and top it with mashed avocado and a fried egg.  Or, slather some dairy free cream cheese on top.

Storage

This bread is best kept in the fridge, but may be sliced and placed in the freezer for longer storage.

Keep the loaf in a sealed, air-tight container or baggie for up to one week in the fridge or up to one month in the freezer.
