Equipment

1 loaf pan (7.75 x 3.75 inch or a 8 x 4 inch)

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients:

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ cup almond flour
1 Tbsp cornstarch *
½ cup sugar of choice , use monk fruit sweetener for a low sugar option
½ tsp salt
3 tsp baking powder

Wet Ingredients:

1 ½ cup pumpkin puree
½ cup melted coconut oil , or light olive oil
¼ cup coconut milk

Add-ins:

½ cup shredded coconut
¼ cup old-fashioned oats

Topping:

3 Tbsp shredded coconut

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8x4 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: all-purpose flour, cornstarch, almond flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder.
In a separate bowl, mix the wet ingredients: pumpkin puree, melted coconut oil, and coconut milk. Stir until the mixture is smooth and fully incorporated.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and gently mix until you have a smooth batter. Do not overmix.
Fold in the shredded coconut and old-fashioned oats into the batter, distributing them evenly.
Pour the batter into the prepared 8x4 inch loaf pan and spread it evenly.
Sprinkle the shredded coconut on top of the batter as the topping.
Bake the Pumpkin Bread in the preheated oven for about 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and enjoy

Notes

*The addition of cornstarch is NOT REQUIRED, but it helps reduce overmixing and makes a softer, more tender textured bread that retains more moisture (cornstarch is the main ingredient in pudding mixes!).
