How to make low-carb pumpkin chili bread
This recipe is straightforward. First you need to grind pumpkin seeds and linseed into ‘flour’. Please remember to grind only 300 g of pumpkin seeds and leave the rest to add on top. Then you need to mix quark with eggs. Then add all the dry ingredients into a medium bowl and mix as well. Next add dry ingredients into wet ingredients and mix well. Spoon the mixture into the prepared baking tin and bake for 60 minutes at 180C.
TIPS:
- When your bread is ready, it is very important to leave it in a baking tin for about 30 minutes. If you try and remove your bread from baking tin right away it will deflate and collapse.
- Make sure baking powder is in date. Out of date baking powder will not work and will taste bad.

What does low-carb pumpkin chili bread taste like?
The texture of this bread is phenomenal. It is soft and chewy and really resembles the texture of a wheat bread. Whole pumpkin seeds add a little bit of crunch. Crust is soft which makes this bread suitable even for people who have problems with eating crunchy food.
The flavour is mild with a hint of chili. Many people asked me if this bread tastes like quark cheese and the answer is no. This bread actually tastes like what bread.
How to store low-carb pumpkin chili bread
You can store this bread in a fridge in an air-tight container for up to a week. You can also freeze it in a zip-lock bag for up to 3 months. I would advise placing small pieces of baking paper in between each slice. It will prevent bread from sticking together.
In order to defrost bread, take it out from freezer and leave it in a room temperature for 30 minutes.
