This Keto Pumpkin Chocolate Bread was created with that exact goal in mind. It’s rich, moist, deeply chocolatey, and warmly spiced, with a texture that feels like real comfort food, not a compromise.

Easy Keto Pumpkin Bread
This Keto, gluten-free pumpkin bread is light, rich in flavor and incredibly moist. Made with almond flour and sweetened with stevia makes for a healthy breakfast or snack for the family.
You are going to love this recipe because it’s easy enough for a novice baker to make.
If stevia is not your preferred sweetener, simply swap one of your choice. Turn the sweetness level up and it can be served for dessert!
A Drizzle Of Chocolate On Keto Bread
A scrumptious pumpkin bread recipe, with the warm spice mix of Autumn, probably doesn’t need chocolate.
Who are we kidding! A drizzle of chocolate is always welcome, especially when it is sweetened without processed sugar.
This added drizzle whisks easily with cacao, stevia and butter and firms beautifully when chilled.
Using pure raw cacao for the drizzle assures that there is zero processed sugar in the powder, whereas cocoa often has already been sweetened with sugar. The best part is that is fits right in with the Keto diet requirements!
Dairy Free Pumpkin Bread Variations
Yes, Yogurt and butter are used in this Keto recipe but both can easily be swapped with coconut yogurt and melted coconut oil.
Using yogurt in this recipe, with almond flour, makes for a very moist bread that lasts well in the fridge for a week.
Keto Pumpkin Chocolate Bread
My daughter in law has been diligent all year about sticking to a Keto diet. The arrival of autumn and her passion for ‘all things pumpkin’ worried her temptations.
Not to worry, I told her. “I will create for you a spectacular Keto pumpkin bread recipe and it will even have a ‘no sugar’ chocolate drizzle”!
This mama always wants her family happy and healthy, and that was exactly the response I received when she tasted it!
How To Make Pumpkin Keto Bread
Many baking recipes can quickly become Keto, simply by making a few swaps in the ingredients.
First, blitz almonds into a flour, if you haven’t found almond flour in your grocery store.
Like most quick bread recipes, there is simply the mixing of wet and dry ingredients together, then baking.
Generally eggs become part of the wet ingredients. However, to make this bread light as well as moist, I separate the eggs, whip the whites and add them at the end.
Non-Stick Baking Tip For Keto Baking
Keto flour, because of its more granular texture instead of gluten flour, can often stick to the baking pan.
The last thing we want is to lose one single delicious bite simple because part of our baked good is still in the pan.
A simple trick is to brush/spray the pan with your choice of oil or butter first. Then cut a strip of parchment paper, just a band, so it hangs off the sides of the pan. A little brush on the paper and pour in the batter.
Once the baked good is cool, simple lift up on the parchment handles you created and pull it out!
Equipment Needed
You won’t need anything fancy to make this Keto Pumpkin Chocolate Bread, just a few kitchen basics and you’re on your way.
- Loaf pan or disposable loaf pans – Standard loaf pans work perfectly, but disposable ones are especially lovely if you’re baking this bread as a gift. Just bake, cool, wrap, and share.
- Parchment paper (just a strip!) – A simple strip of parchment makes lifting the bread out effortless and keeps cleanup easy.
- Mixing bowl – One good-sized bowl is all you need for bringing everything together.
- Whisk or electric hand mixer – A whisk works beautifully, but a hand mixer makes the job even quicker if you have one handy.
- Measuring cup and measuring spoons – Accuracy matters just enough here to keep the texture spot-on.
- Microwave or stovetop – For gently melting the butter (or coconut oil) before mixing, no fuss required.
- Oven – The final step, where all those cozy pumpkin-chocolate aromas come to life.
Ingredients Needed To Make This Keto Pumpkin Chocolate Bread So Good
Every ingredient in this Keto Pumpkin Chocolate Bread has a purpose, bringing flavor, moisture, structure, and that cozy pumpkin-chocolate comfort without tipping the carb balance.
- Pumpkin is the heart of this bread. It adds natural moisture, subtle sweetness, and that unmistakable autumn warmth, while keeping the crumb tender instead of dry or crumbly (a common keto pitfall).
- Eggs provide structure and lift, helping the bread rise while giving it a rich, almost custardy texture that feels indulgent rather than “diet.”
- Butter or coconut oil brings richness and depth. Butter offers a classic, cozy flavor, while coconut oil keeps things dairy-free and adds a clean, mellow fat that works beautifully with pumpkin and cacao.
- Stevia or your preferred keto-friendly sweetener allows the pumpkin and chocolate flavors to shine without overpowering them. Use what you love, this bread is forgiving and adaptable.
- Yogurt (or dairy-free yogurt) is the secret to softness. It adds moisture and a gentle tang that balances the sweetness and keeps the loaf tender for days.
- Almond flour replaces traditional flour while delivering a moist, cake-like crumb. It pairs especially well with pumpkin and chocolate, giving the bread body without heaviness.
- Pumpkin Spice brings warmth and nostalgia, those familiar notes of cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove that make this loaf smell incredible as it bakes.
- Baking powder gives the bread a light lift, preventing it from becoming dense while keeping the texture just right.
- Salt may be subtle, but it’s essential, it sharpens the chocolate flavor and balances the sweetness beautifully.
- Cacao adds depth and richness, turning this pumpkin bread into a truly satisfying chocolate treat. It’s bold without being overpowering, and pairs perfectly with the warm spices and pumpkin.

I believe the table... that place that draws people to gather, is the most powerful symbol of togetherness. All that happens before the table is set, the planning, the gathering, the preparing, are all an intricate part of the dance that create the mood of celebration to share with friends and loved ones.
