Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Almond flour
- 1 cup Pumpkin puree
- 0.5 cup Coconut flour
- 0.5 cup Whey protein isolate
- 0.5 cup Erythritol sweetener
- 0.5 cup Butter
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 tablespoon Pumpkin pie spice
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons Yeast
- 0.25 cup Warm water
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix the warm water and yeast together. Allow it to sit for about 5-10 minutes until foamy.
In the meantime, in a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, whey protein isolate, erythritol sweetener, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, and salt. Stir until well blended.
Melt the butter in a medium-sized bowl and then let it cool slightly. Add the pumpkin puree, eggs, vanilla extract, and the yeast mixture to the melted butter. Mix well using a whisk or mixer on low speed.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredient mixture. Stir until the dough begins to form. It should be soft but firm enough to handle.
Knead the dough lightly with your hands until smooth. Form the dough into a ball and place it into a bowl covered with a damp cloth. Allow it to rise in a warm area for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a brioche pan or regular loaf pan with parchment paper.
Once the dough has risen, gently deflate it and give it a quick knead to remove air bubbles. Shape it into a log or round, depending on your pan shape.
Place the dough into the prepared pan. Cover it again with a damp cloth and let it rise for another 30 minutes.
Bake the brioche in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean.
Allow the brioche to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve your delicious low carb pumpkin brioche with butter or your favorite low-carb jam. Enjoy!
