This Flourless Paleo Pumpkin Bread Recipe is a really tasty sweet bread. It’s not quite like a loaf of wheat bread, it’s more like a moist pound cake.
This is a great recipe for anyone who is grain-free, but has nut or coconut allergies because it doesn’t use any almond or coconut flour. You can sub out organic granulated sugar for the coconut sugar for it to be completely coconut-free.
I like to have this sweet bread with coffee or tea in the morning or for an afternoon snack!
Flourless Paleo Pumpkin Bread Recipe (Grain-free, Nut-free):
This Flourless Paleo Pumpkin Bread Recipe is a really tasty sweet bread. It's not quite like a loaf of wheat bread, it's more like a moist pound cake.
- 3/4 cup pumpkin puree or sweet potato puree
- 1 small ripe banana
- 3/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 cup + 1 tbsp arrowroot flour
- 1 tbsp coconut sugar or organic cane sugar
- 4 pastured eggs
- 1/2 tsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice mixture of cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves
- Pre-heat oven to 325°. Make sure that the pumpkin (or sweet potato) and banana is mashed into a smooth puree (you can use a hand blender or food processor for this).
- Combine dry ingredients together, then add wet ingredients and blend together using a hand blender or food processor.
- Pour batter into a greased mini loaf pan (click here to see dimensions). Bake for about 30-40 minutes or until a knife pierced through the center comes out clean. The bread will be moist and cake-like. You may have to let the loaf settle for a while to harden before cutting into it. Since there is no flour it is much more moist than other cake-loaves.

Hi, I was wondering if I could substitute something else for arrowroot powder. I don’t need it to be gluten free, so would oat flour or rice flour work?
You might want to try corn starch. I haven’t tried cornstarch, but it might work since it is pretty similar to arrowroot.
is this the same recipe as your muffins?
No Gena, they are similar, but the muffins are vegan and these ones contain eggs.
Was wondering if cornstarch would work in an equal substitution for the arrowroot? I’m out of arrowroot and won’t be able to get any for several days, but I have organic cornstarch in the cupboard!

This looks like a great pumpkin recipe, great to see a flourless pumkin recipe, pinning to my pumpkin everything board!
Thanks for sharing!
Hi is there a substitute for the arrowroot powder?
That is paleo***
I haven’t tried any subs, so not sure if it would come out the same. You could try tapioca flour.
Hi, this sounds great but I was wondering: I don’t have a mini-loaf pan. Has anyone tried it in a regular loaf pan? How much does this make? Would it turn out gooey if I use a regular loaf pan?
Thank you
Yes you’ll need a mini loaf pan. I think it will be gooey in a regular one since it’s flourless. You can try making it as muffins.
I used a mini loaf pan. I thought the mix was too much for one pan! Well it over flowed all over. What a mess, good thing I put a pan underneath.
How many mini loaf pans should be used? Your directions say pour batter into a mini loaf pan.
Yes it should be just 1 loaf pan that measures 5.75-inch by 3.25-inch by 2.25-inch. Did you make any substitutions to the recipe as written? What size loaf pan did you use?
