Making low carb simple
Instructions
Spicy pumpkin bread
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a bread pan, 8.5" (about 11 x 21 cm), with butter or oil.
- Mix together all dry ingredients in a bowl.
- Stir together egg, apple sauce, pumpkin puree, and oil in a separate bowl and mix into a smooth batter with the dry ingredients.
- Scoop the batter into the bread pan and sprinkle a tablespoon of pumpkin seeds on top.
- Bake on lower rack for 55–65 minutes. If a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, it’s done. You can also test for doneness by pressing lightly in the center of the loaf. If it feels firm then the bread is fully baked.
Building the sandwich
- Whisk together eggs and cream in a bowl. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Melt the butter in a frying pan on medium-high heat. Pour in the egg mixture and stir until blended and cooked through. Remove from heat.
- Add chili and mix. Use whatever you have at home already – tabasco, dried chili flakes, or fresh finely chopped chili.
- Toast two slices of the spicy low-carb pumpkin bread, or another low-carb bread.
- Apply a thick layer of butter.
- Put a few lettuce leaves and the scrambled eggs on top, then add the salmon and some finely chopped chives.

That is a big difference! I just double checked this in the Apple and Android apps and for me, the amount is being reflected accurately. If you notice a discrepancy in the future, please feel free to send a screenshot to contact@dietdoctor.com so we can use that for troubleshooting. Thank you!
Hi Christopher! Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Here is the stand-alone recipe for the spiced pumpkin bread https://www.dietdoctor.com/recipes/spicy-pumpkin-bread.
The recipe was originally created for 2 servings, but the bread ingredients are for an entire loaf. You would only take 1 slice per serving. However, we found that if you increase the serving size, it also mistakenly increases the amount of bread ingredients. We are working on a way to resolve this, so please note that the correct ingredient amounts for one loaf of bread are listed at 2 servings. If you increase the serving size, only apply the amount changes to the toppings.
I believe you can substitute chia seeds for the flax seeds, however we haven't tried it this way. If you give it a try, please let us know how it turns out!
Is it a substitute for the apple sauce? Thanks
Hi, Agnes! You could puree some apples to make your own, or you could try something similar like a pear puree.
