Equipment Needed

- Spatula
Ingredients
For the Pumpkin Toast:
- 2 tbsp almond flour
- 1 tbsp coconut flour
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp pumpkin puree (unsweetened)
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- Sweetener to taste (optional)
For the Topping:
- 1 tbsp cream cheese, softened
- 1 tbsp pumpkin puree
- Dash of pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon
- Sweetener to taste (optional)
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Mix the Toast Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, pumpkin puree, egg, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. If you prefer a bit of sweetness, add a low-carb sweetener.
2. Microwave or Bake the Toast
Transfer the mixture to a microwave-safe mug or ramekin. Microwave for 90 seconds or until firm. If you prefer to bake, use an oven-safe dish and bake at 350°F (180°C) for about 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
3. Toast the Pumpkin Bread
Once cooled slightly, pop the bread out of the mug and slice it into two halves. Toast it in a toaster or on a hot skillet with a bit of butter for a golden-brown finish.
4. Prepare the Pumpkin Topping
In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, pumpkin puree, a dash of pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon, and sweetener if desired. Mix until smooth and creamy.
5. Assemble the Pumpkin Toast
Spread the creamy pumpkin topping over the toasted bread. You can sprinkle more cinnamon or add a few pumpkin seeds on top for added texture.
Tips for Making the Best Keto Pumpkin Toast
- Use Fresh Spices: Fresh pumpkin pie spice and cinnamon really enhance the flavor.
- Adjust the Sweetness: Sweeten the toast or topping as much as you like for a bit of extra fall sweetness.
- Texture Tip: If you want a crispier texture, toast the bread for an extra minute.
Storage Instructions
Store any leftover bread in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Re-toast before adding the topping.
FAQs
Q: Can I use just almond flour?
Yes, but the combination of almond and coconut flours provides a better texture. If using only almond flour, try 3 tbsp instead of the combined flours.
Q: Can I use a different topping?
Absolutely! Try sugar-free whipped cream, butter, or almond butter for variety.
Q: Can I make this ahead?
You can make the toast ahead, refrigerate it, and toast it just before eating for the best texture.
