Gayle says
Can I use stevia without the honey?
Elana says
Gayle, I haven’t tried that, but doubt it would work :-)
Christine Webster says
This Paleo pumpkin bread was delicious! Of course, my daughter-in-law and I finished it before the evening was over! I look forward to making one of your pumpkin pie recipes.
Elana says
Christine, so glad to hear this was delicious!
marie says
can you substitute the eggs for something else if someone has an egg allergy?
Elana says
Marie, I haven’t tried that so not sure, but when I’ve experimented with egg replacements in my other bread recipes they have not worked :-)
Denise says
Thanks Elana! this is a go-to bread for breakfast, snack or on the side of our big dinner salad we have each night. Just an FYI to those that get distracted: if you forget to put the baking soda in this recipe, it’s still good! Dense…but good, especially grilled. It happened with my first double batch. Once they came out, I made another loaf because I was bringing it to coffee with a friend, and I remembered the baking soda and what a difference in the texture and rise. It’s so good. As I write this, it is my third time making the recipe and a doubled the recipe but I got 3 mini loaves out of it. Side note: I did add 2 tablespoons of coconut flour to the mix for each time I made it. I find with paleo bread recipes they don’t come out as the creator intended and are often too wet or too dry for me. Is it my oven? Different altitude? I don’t know, so I’ve learned to boost a bread with coconut flour, or if dry, with banana. So far, it’s been working.
Elana says
Denise, thanks for letting me know this is a go-to bread recipe for breakfast, snack or dinner!

Greetings Elena,
Your pumpkin bread recipe was awesome! I don’t really care for pumpkin or squash, so I am looking to find ways to enjoy it. I am in the middle of a move. Loaf pans are packed, so I used an 8×8 shallow glass pan. Connect baked for 20 min, turned off oven and let sit for another 3 min. before removing to cool. I added walnuts to mine. Came out perfectly!
I have a great lamb masala recipe I make frequently in my slo cooker/pressure cooker. I serve it over steamed riced cauliflower that I toss with olive oil, tumeric, pink salt/pepper and fresh cilantro. Rather than Naan, I used this pumpkin bread. It complimented the dish perfectly!
I used liquid Stevia + high actives (16+) Manuka honey for an extra immune system boost. Bread is fantastic by itself, and would also be delicious with raw butter and/or Manuka honey.
Busy with holidays and move right now, but intend to further check out your recipes/books etc. my sister in law and several of my friends will be interested as well.
Thank you…..Beth Hansotte/Atlanta, GA
Elana says
Beth, I hope your holidays are amazing and thanks for letting me know this bread turned out perfectly!
Amy W says
The first time I made this recipe, I quadrupled it and mostly made it in my Vitamix. Instead of the pumpkin, I had butternut in the freezer….I usually use squash instead of pumpkin to use less sweeteners. Instead of the pumpkin pie spice, I used the spices for the pumpkin cupcakes in your cupcake cookbook. I used agave instead of the honey and stevia…not a huge stevia fan and honey is too sweet.
4x this recipe is 2 standard sized loaf pans. It came out perfectly….as all your recipes do for me!
Elana says
Amy, thanks for letting me know this came out perfectly!!!
Wendy says
Can canned 100% pumpkin be used instead of roasting pumpkin?
Elana says
Wendy, I haven’t tried that so not sure :-)
Karen says
Just finished making this bread and eating it :) Used what I had on hand, substituted 100% can pumpkin for roasted pumpkin, xylitol for honey. The bread is moist and delicious. Thank you Elana for you hard work to create and sharing you recipes.
Elana says
Karen, thanks so much for letting me know this bread is delicious! I’m so happy to hear you are enjoying my recipes, your comment really made my day :-)
jenny says
Yummm! I love pumpkin cookies but never had pumpkin bread before. sounds tasty!
Elana says
Jenny, I hope you love this bread as much as we do! It’s one of our favorites :-)
Rosalinda says
Can one bake this recipe in a mini bunt cake pan? If so, how many minutes baking time?
Elana says
Rosalinda, I haven’t tried that so not sure :-)
Jacqueline says
Hi Elana!
Do you use parchment paper to line the bread pan? Every time I make gluten free breads, it always sticks to the pan, even after I grease it. Not sure what I”m doing wrong. Same thing happened with your banana bread recipe. It tasted delish but the whole bottom half was stuck to the pan….suggestion?
Elana says
Hi Jacqueline! thanks for your comment! I haven’t ever had to use parchment paper to line the bread pan for my recipes because they pop right out. Make sure you are using the recommended pan for each recipe and greasing adequately so that the bread comes out easily :-)
Jacqueline says
Thanks Elana! What do you grease the pan with? Coconut oil?
Elana says
Jacqueline, coconut oil works very well for that :-)
Kim says
I use parchment paper for easy clean up. It works well.
