Ahhh pumpkin. Tis the season. Paleo Pumpkin Bread, sweet or savory pumpkin recipes.

Ha! I’m surprised we all aren’t walking with an extra orange glow. Or are we? Don’t answer that. Instead, answer me this.

If we all love pumpkin, then it better be good for us, right? Your answer is YES YES YES! That being said, it definitely depends on the recipe.

Mmmm…. pumpkin cheesecake my night be an “anti-inflammatory,” recipe, but Rosemary Paleo Pumpkin Bread  –>> DING DING DING! We have a winner!

And because I was completely INFATUATED with my Homemade Nut and Seed Paleo Bread and Orange Zucchini Paleo Bread, I had to the grain free love. You’re cool with that, right?

So let’s discuss Pumpkin and Rosemary. Together, forever!

Rosemary Paleo Pumpkin Bread Nutrition

– The IMPRESSIVE  nerdy nutrition facts.

This bread is like the perfect post workout snack. Yep! Cooked pumpkin has more potassium than a banana. GASP! So it’s great for balancing those electrolytes.

  • Canned pumpkin puree (not the pie filling ya’ll) is packed with TONS of vitamins. In fact, it contains one of my favorite. Yep, 50 percent of the daily value of vitamin K,. You know I love my Vitamin K for metabolism and bone health. I boasted about it with that mustardy Brussel sprouts recipe. Remember?
  • 1 cup pumpkin contains 246% Vitamin A. DUDE! That is an impressive amount of an antioxidants. Your eyes will thank you!

Hey Cotter,inquiring minds want to know…

Is paleo bread low carb?

Great news! Paleo baking is usually grain free and gluten free!! So, unless you add a lot of sugar to a paleo bread recipe, it’s more than likely going to be lower in carbs than traditional bread.

Now about that rosemary.. I did not forget.

Yes, Rosemary is just as AMAZIN for your health!

Facts about Rosemary

Rosemary, the “SUPER” herb, contains certain substances, such as flavonoids and volatile oils, that are useful for:

  • boosting the immune system
  • increasing blood flow and circulation
  • improving digestion.  Rosemary also contains anti-inflammatory properties that can help reduce respiratory problems. This is why many people love using the (essential oil Rosemary oil). While I have not tried this oil yet myself, but I have heard it does help reduce symptoms for people with digestive problems as well as respiratory problems, such as asthma. Ahhh Breathe Happy ya’ll!! Rosemary essential oil on my list to try next!

So ya, this Rosemary Paleo Pumpkin Bread recipe is loaded with SUPER nutrients, but it’s only part of the reason I made it. Okay I lie, it’s 85%.

The truth is, our lifestyle has changed drastically over the past year.

My husband retired from pro triathlon racing into a full time “desk” job. Um, that wasn’t hard or anything (enter sarcasm).

Hard as it maybe have been, it was a good choice for us. That being said, I don’t make the same food for him. In fact, he’s lifting weights on a regular basis and craving a higher protein/fat foods. Yes, my endurance junky loving of a man is now in the GYM with dumb bells,  GASP!!

And me? Well, I took a step back from teaching fitness classes (and fitness in general) to have surgery, and am slowly easy back into things.

Gosh ya’ll, we’ve changed a lot. Our dietary needs have changed and so sometimes we GO BIG or go home, like say with… mmmm  paleo chocolate caramel.

But most of the time, like that 85% of the time, we’re focusing on nourishment and a little more protein packed into those meals. Plus ALL THE VEGGIES to boot! Yes, we need those healing foods! Oh and wine… I will always make room for wine.  Haha!

Needless to say, superfood gluten free recipes are here to stay. Easy, healthy, maybe paleoish, maybe veganish (or egg free if needed), maybe grain free, but always TASTY!

Description

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 to 2/3 cup avocado oil or olive oil (the more oil, the more dense, moisture).
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar (or lemon juice will work, just an acid)
  • 3 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 cup sifted coconut flour
  • 1/4 cup coconut sugar
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp all spice
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • pinch of black pepper
  • 2 rosemary sprigs with stems removed
  • 1/4 cup roasted pumpkin seeds (feel free to add in more seeds like sunflower seeds or fennel seeds)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325F. Line a 9×5 bread pan or 8×4 loaf pan (see notes) with parchment paper. You can also use 2 mini loaf pans. . Grease or oil the side of the pans.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine your pumpkin, eggs, oil, and vinegar. Beat gently or mix with spoon until smooth.
  3. In another bowl, sift together your dry ingredients (flours through seasonings and sea salt). Keep the pumpkin seeds and rosemary sprigs aside.
  4. Combine the flour mix with the pumpkin/egg mix into one bowl. Beat or gently mix until batter is smooth. It might be a little grainy due to coconut flour.

  6. Pour batter in to lined 9×9 pan (or 2 smaller mini loaf pans).
  7. sprinkle pumpkin seeds and extra rosemary on top.
  8. Bake for 50 minutes to 1 hr. (Check bread after 45 minutes to see progress)

  10. Remove and let cool.
  11. Once cooled you can remove the bread from the pan and slice or store for later.
  12. You can freeze this bread for later use as well.

Notes

  • NUTRITION Since this bread is pretty dense, I recommend using it as a meal or slice thinner for a side. Texture is amazing and filling! Nutritional info as shown is for thinner slices.
  • If you are using a 8×4″ loaf pan, check the middle for doneness at 40 to 45 minutes since it will be in a smaller pan.
  • This has a lovely rosemary taste. Feel free to reduce the “herbed” taste by using one sprig or two. You also use thyme or mix herbs.
  • This a GREAT bread to serve with paleo Chili .

    Now that I’ve gotten my other half to admit she has a gluten problem… HAHAHA! This bread sounds fabulous. I think pumpkin is amazing in savory form. Europeans think we’re nuts eating it sweet all the time. AND there’s agiant rosemary bush in my front yard begging to be used.

    So you know I’ve got a killer sweet tooth, but I’m actually loving the idea of a savoury pumpkin bread! And rosemary is kind of tied with thyme for my #1 favourite herb. Basically, what I’m trying to say is that this bread rocks my socks off 🙂

    I just love Rosemary. When we were in Croatia, I was walking down a path lined with super tall hedges, and it smelled wonderful. That’s when I realized the hedges were actually rosemary. 🙂

    This bread looks wonderful. Ok, now I’m off to water my rosemary plant (it’s been alive for at least two years now, maybe three).

    I love the idea of savory pumpkin bread! And I am a total sucker for anything with rosemary. I just bought some new dish soap – I’m loyal to Mrs. Meyer’s – and they had a rosemary seasonal scent and it is heaven!!

    I bet this smells amazing baking in the oven. Always loved the smell of rosemary in the oven…Yes I need to find that in an essential oil too. This bread slightly slightly naturally sweet and savory ticks all the boxes for me. I hope dear that you are on the recovery. from your procedure. Please reach out if you need anything. Sharing everywhere, of course. Take care

    Goes and eats more pumpkin; wow, this is such a wonderful combo Lindsay, and thank you for sharing the health benefits. I’m so in the dark about most foods when it comes to their benefits, and I love to read what you share. Also, I’m curious; do you have particular bread recipes that are gluten free but lighter and cakier (not doughy or dense.) I LOVE the doughy texture, but my dad likes the cakey a little bit more, so I was just curious about that.

    Also your brownies you posted last week! were a humongous hit among everybody here, gluten free and non gluten free people alike. It was a HUGE winner. 🙂

      Oh so glad you liked the brownies Em! As far as cakey bread goes, do you want sweet or savory? I have a paleo sandwich bread that is really light in texture. Or I have a chocolate hazelnut bread that is more like flourless chocolate cake. hehe.
