How to Make the Recipe

Now, let’s dive into the fun part—making this delicious pumpkin bread!

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, eggs, and applesauce. Mix until well combined.
In another bowl, whisk together the almond flour, erythritol, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
Spread the cream cheese evenly over the batter, and sprinkle with chopped nuts if desired.
Top with the remaining batter, smoothing it out to cover the filling.
Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Pro Tips for Making the Recipe

Here are some of my favorite tips to ensure your Stuffed Low Carb Pumpkin Bread turns out perfectly:

Make sure your pumpkin puree is pure and not pumpkin pie filling, which contains added sugars.
For a richer flavor, consider adding a splash of vanilla extract to the batter.
If you prefer a sweeter bread, feel free to adjust the amount of erythritol to your taste.
Let the bread cool completely before slicing to prevent it from falling apart.
This recipe can easily be doubled for larger gatherings or meal prep!

How to Serve

This Stuffed Low Carb Pumpkin Bread is delightful on its own, but here are some serving suggestions to elevate your experience:

Serve warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of sugar-free caramel sauce.
Pair it with a cup of your favorite coffee or tea for a cozy afternoon treat.
Slice it up and serve it as a dessert after a hearty meal, perhaps alongside some creamy garlic pasta for a comforting dinner.
Wrap slices in parchment paper for a lovely homemade gift during the fall season.

Make Ahead and Storage

This pumpkin bread is perfect for meal prep! Here’s how to store it:

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
You can freeze slices for up to three months. Just make sure to wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and then in foil.
