2 tsp cinnamon

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325. Line an 8x4 loaf pan with parchment paper and spray with cooking spray.
Add all the ingredients, besides the pecans, into a large bowl. Stir until smooth. Stir in 1/3 cup pecans.
Pour into the prepared loaf pan. Spread evenly. Top with the remaining pecans. The pan will be quite full but will bake up into a tall loaf. If your pan seems overfilled, reserve a small amount of batter for muffins.
Bake for 60-75 minutes until golden and no longer jiggly. The center should feel firm to the touch, and a toothpick comes out mostly clean. The internal temperature should be 200-205. Cover with foil for the last 20 minutes if necessary, so the pecans do not burn.
Cool completely before slicing.

Optional Glaze:

Melt the sweetener in a small saucepan over low. Drizzle on top of the pecan pumpkin bread.

Notes

Tweaks: Recipe updated on 5/4/26 to use sour cream instead of cottage cheese, reduced coconut flour, added more almond flour, added an additional egg, and added xanthan gum. This update reduces the chance of an unbaked center.

Pan Size: A 9x5 pan will produce a slightly flatter loaf and may require additional baking time.

Nutrition: This makes 12 slices of pumpkin bread. A serving is 1 slice in the nutrition facts. Each serving has 4.4 NET carbs. That does include the optional molasses.

Spices: My original recipe just has the cinnamon, and we love it like that. Some of my readers prefer to add additional spices like the optional 2 tsp pumpkin spice. If you love all things pumpkin spice go ahead and add some!

Molasses: I get a lot of comments from my low carb readers on the use of molasses. I use it for flavor, not sweetness. One teaspoon of molasses has 5 grams of carbs. This recipe uses 1 tsp divided by 12 servings. That is less than .5 grams of carbs from the molasses. If you prefer you can just omit it.

Notes on Sweeteners:

I use my own blend of xylitol, erythritol, and stevia in my recipes. This is twice as sweet as sugar. It is comparable to Trim Healthy Mama Gentle Sweet and Truvia.

To sub in Swerve or Lakanto Monk Fruit use 1.5 times the amount of sweetener called for.

To sub in Pyure or Trim Healthy Mama Super Sweet use half the amount of sweetener called for.

Substitutions will work in most recipes. They may not work in candies, such as caramel.
