Are Almond Flour and Almond Meal the same?

When gathering ingredients to make some paleo pumpkin bread recipe almond flour, it’s important to get the right type of flour! Almond meal is typically made from unpeeled almonds, giving it a coarser, slightly lumpier texture than almond flour, which is made from peeled almonds. This recipe calls for almond flour and the results will be best if you use it!

How to make Almond Flour Pumpkin Bread

Prepare

Turn on your oven so that it can fully preheat. Line the bottom of a loaf pan with parchment paper and rub the sides with oil generously.

Mix

In a medium bowl, whisk together all the dry ingredients up to the allspice. In a different bowl, mix together the pumpkin, sugar, syrup, eggs and vanilla. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet with a wooden spoon until the batter is well mixed, then fold in the chocolate chips.

Bake

Place the loaf pan in the oven and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

DEVOUR

Let the loaf cool completely in the pan, then remove, slice and serve. Enjoy!

Recipe Variations

If you’re into this pumpkin bread recipe, but want to mix things up to make it your own, I say GO FOR IT! For some extra crunch, consider chopping up some pecans, walnuts, or toasted pumpkin seeds and sprinkling them on top before you bake it. For a fruity vibe, leave out the chocolate chips and instead use dried cranberries. You could also drizzle some of your favorite nut butter on top!

Top Tips for making Almond Flour Pumpkin Bread

Use Almond Flour: Like I said above, it’s best if you use flour over almond meal. It will result in a much better texture!
Mix Well: This batter should be thoroughly mixed so that everything is well incorporated!
Cool COMPLETELY: Although it may be tempting to slice and enjoy this bread while it’s hot, resist the temptation! Baked goods with almond flour can be quite delicate so it will need to cool completely before you slice it.

Storage- Fridge and Freezer

To store this almond flour bread in the fridge, I recommend wrapping it tightly in plastic wrap. It will last up to a week in the fridge. To freeze this bread, I recommend slicing it into serving sized portions and wrapping them each individually in plastic wrap, then tossing them into a freezer style ziploc bag. Label the bag with the date and place it in the freezer for up to 3 months.
