Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: all-purpose flour, pecan flour, cornstarch, salt, baking powder, and monk fruit sweetener. Ensure they are well combined.

Sprinkle ¼ cup of pecan halves on top of the batter as the topping.
Bake the Pecan Pumpkin Bread Loaf 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 allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and enjoy as is, or drizzle with caramel or dulce de leche
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!).
