Low Carb Pumpkin Loaf

I tried a few recipes with pumpkin over the past week and to be honest I was disappointed with them all so I decided to make one of my own. It turned out to be delicious and satisfied my fall pumpkin craving.




Recipe

Preheat oven to 350F
Dry ingredients:
2 Cups Almond flour
1 Scoop Unflavoured Whey Isolate Protein Powder 
1/3 Cup Truvia (in the little pot)
2 teaspoons baking Powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
11/2 teaspoons pumpkin spice
Combine dry ingredients mixing well to make sure all lumps are gone.
Add the following to the dry mixture.
Wet Ingredients:
1/2 Cup melted butter
1 Cup pumpkin purée
1/2 Tablespoon vanilla 
2 Eggs
Beat until smooth. 
Line the bottom of  a loaf pan with a piece of parchment and spray bottom and sides of pan with cooking spray. Pour mixture into loaf pan and bake for 50-60minutes or until centre is baked. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes and turn out onto cooling rack to complete cooling. 
1 slice (1/12th of Loaf) is 2.8 net carbs with the ingredients I used, sugar alcohols deducted.
