One thing I love about this recipe is how simple it is! Here are a few notes to ensure you achieve the best results.

Paleo Pumpkin Bread: Ingredients & Substitutions
Paleo baking is both an art and a science, so tamper at your own risk, but here are some possible substitutions.
Coconut oil. Grass fed butter or ghee can be used in place of coconut oil.Almond Butter. The only other substitution I’d recommend is cashew butter.Coconut sugar. Any granulated sugar works well in this recipe. I have used organic cane sugar with great results.Chocolate chips. I love using mini chocolate chips in this paleo pumpkin bread because they perfectly complement it’s delicate texture and delicious taste! My oldest daughter loves when I use cinnamon chips (which are not paleo).Pumpkin Pie Spice. Use store bought or make this homemade pumpkin pie spice recipe!
Paleo/healthy chocolate options
Sometimes it’s hard to figure out which chocolate chips are Paleo, so here are some of my favorite healthier chocolate options.
Hu Kitchen Chocolate Gems. This is my favorite paleo chocolate. These gems are delicious and easy to toss into cookies (no bar chopping required).Hu Kitchen Dark Chocolate Bars. You can also buy dark chocolate bars and chop them up to toss into these paleo chocolate chip cookies.Lily’s Dark Chocolate. They make chips and bars that are stevia sweetened, low carb, keto, etc.Enjoy Life Foods Dark Chocolate Chips are a good option that are vegan, dairy-free but not fully paleo.
