Directions
1Preheat the oven to 350F.
2Grease an 8"x5" glass loaf pan with coconut oil.
3Whisk together the melted coconut oil, eggs, pumpkin, coconut milk, and vanilla in a medium mixing bowl.
4In a separate large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, monk fruit extract, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and salt, and stir well.
5Add the wet ingredients to the dry, and mix until moistened and well-combined.
6Transfer to the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
7Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean and the outside has lightly browned, 48-50 minutes.
8Remove from oven and let cool in the pan for 15 minutes.
9Transfer loaf to a wire rack before letting cool completely. Slice and serve or use in Pumpkin Bread Pudding.
*Culinary coconut milks are intended for use in recipes that call for canned cooking milks. They're higher in fat than the packaged coconut milk you drink. You can find culinary coconut milk in the Thai section or baking aisle of the grocery store.
