Truth be told, I’m not huge into pumpkin. I didn’t have a piece of pumpkin pie until I was in college and I was just like, what’s the fuss all about. Now, I can honestly say I’m a pumpkin fan. This recipe came about from my experimenting in the kitchen to try to make french toast. I’m still working on it but this paleo dessert recipe will be on my holiday menu for years to come.
Most bread puddings come with some super sugary sauce and I just couldn’t do it but I highly recommend topping this with whipped cream or coconut cream. Honestly, this would be all kinds of deadly deliciousness with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Paleo Pumpkin Bread Pudding

bread
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup water
- 2 Tablespoons of apple cider vinegar

- 1 teaspoon of pumpkin spice

Pumpkin Sauce
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree

Instructions
- To make the bread, combine the eggs, water, apple cider vinegar, coconut flour, pumpkin spice, baking soda and melted coconut oil in a bowl and mix thoroughly.

I wish you could be my personal chef haha. This all looks so good. Love your recipes. 🙂
Tee Hee, I do burn things you know but I always enjoying cooking for friends 🙂
I love just about anything pumpkin, and this looks divine!! Thanks!
Wow, it looks very tasty
I’m in to pumpkin, but not bread pudding. However my parents both LOVE bread pudding so this would be a special dessert I can make for them this season.
I just made a pumpkin bread pudding for Thanksgiving! 🙂
It’s Paleo? I am so happy 🙂
It’s really good too! Filling! Very Filling but so yummy 🙂
Looks good, but I am all pumpkin’d out right now…lol.
If it sold you on pumpkin, it HAS to be good!
Bread pudding is one of my husband’s favorite desserts. Yours looks absolutely perfect–I love all that whipped cream on top!
I put more on there too, lol. I don’t think I could every live without dairy 🙂
I need this!! Yumm!
Can I come live with you?!
Your recipes are so fantastic, I don’t know if I like bread pudding though.
That looks really good. I always want to try your recipes.
This looks really good. I am hoping to make some food changes towards the beginning of the new year and seeing yummy recipes like this makes me think it’s possible.
This looks really good, I may have to make this over the weekend! Thanks!
I have to tell you all these awesome recipes make me want to try Paleo!
girl you always come up with some wonderful looking stuff.
Thank you Maryann 🙂
Yum. I love anything pumpkin, thanks for sharing!
I’m adding this to next week’s recipe list right NOW!!
Pumpkin is one of my favorite things ever, but sadly, since I had my gall bladder removed, I can’t eat it. 🙁 This looks sooooo yummy!
Great recipe!
My hubby would love this!
Oh my gosh, that looks absolutely amazing!
This looks amazing. I never really had a taste for pumpkin until recently. It’s weird how your taste buds change as you get older. 🙂
Now that looks awesome!!
That looks awesome
Yum! I love bread pudding, but I have never had it with pumpkin before.
Hi Kelly, do you think this recipe would turn out well if blackstrap molasses was replaced for the maple syrup in the pumpkin sauce? Thanks
Yeah, I think it would give it some great depth too! I hope you like it 🙂
I was just wondering, under the bread section of the recipe, how much coconut oil is supposed to be added?
Is it a 1/4 cup? 1 tsp? or 1/4 + 1 tsp?
1/4 plus 1 tsp and I just updated it 🙂
I have to say, I’ve made this a few times and I LOVE IT. I make my own pumpkin puree so it takes me a little longer, but it is so worth it. I found I need to double the sauce recipe otherwise it is a little dry in my opinion. This is my go to recipe for bringing a dish for Thanksgiving dinner.
I’m glad you enjoy it Elisha!
I made it for Thanksgiving, my fiance loves bread pudding. Not sure what I did wrong, there wasn’t much pudding. Tasted great, very moist but not really “puddingly”. What could I have done wrong?
I would double or triple the sauce if you want it wetter. So glad you enjoyed it!
