Low Carb Pumpkin Bread
Today I experimented to see if I could come up with a good Low Carb Pumpkin
Bread. I started out with my reguarl pumpkin bread recipe and substituted Vanilla Protein Powder and Vital Wheat Gluten for the flour. I melted the butter instead of creaming it in. I substituted DaVinci Caramel sugar free syrup for the sugar, tasting the mixture until it tasted right. I did it all by eye--not measuring but just stirring the ingredients until they looked like pumpkin bread batter. I used 3/4 can of pumpkin, 1 egg, 2 tbs butter, and a tsp of cinnemon and 1/2 tsp nutmeg. I think I used 4 scoops of protein powder and 2 of vital wheat gluten, but I can't swear to it as I kept sprinkling them in until the batter looked right.Then I threw in a handful of walnuts and about half a cup of no-sugar grated coconut. I smoothed the batter out about an inch deep in two baking pans, baked it for 40 minutes and came out with the best low carb bread I've ever made! It had a dry texture almost like shortbread instead of that gluey texture you usually get with baking protein. Best of all, it stayed nice after it cooled. I wrapped it up in Saran wrap and it stayed just moist enough. My blood sugar liked it even though I ate much too much. g Tomorrow I'm making 1 regular cheese cake for the guys and one low carb one for me. Thanksgiving is the easiest holiday to do low carb because there's all that wonderful turkey at the center of it and no one minds if you eat a whole lot of it! -- Jenny Cut the carbs to respond to my new email address!

Low Carb Pumpkin Bread
Witchy,
I've never cooked with almond flour as I've never been able to find it at any local store. I suspect that nut flour would make this a much denser bread. What I liked about it was that it really tasted like bread (even more like scones.) -- Jenny Cut the carbs to respond to my new email address!

When you try doing that bread again, please measure! Sounds good. You guys are so inspiring! I just have not had alot of luck with LC recipes, and I suppose I let myself get discouraged too early. But hearing of your successes is encouraging! I am not going to do anything special for T-day (meaning cooking wise) My Sister and I are getting a Marie Callendars' meal, and we both agreed for the first time ever that we really do not need to supplement the meal with several other dishes! I am not even making my infamous carb laden pumpkin bread, and it is just darn ok!!! We will have plenty of veggies and meat, and I am thrilled to think about a holiday in non food overload terms! I do want to give your recipe a try though! Happy Holiday, all! Blessings, Jeano |
