Ingredients

Pumpkin loaf:

8 large eggs
1 cup cream cheese
½ cup pumpkin puree
2 tbsp salted butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 tbsp coconut flour
1 tsp baking powder
2 tbsp sugar-free sweetener
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice

Dipping sauce:

⅓ cup cream cheese softened
2-4 tbsp sugar-free maple syrup to desired texture and sweetness
Butter as needed for frying

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease an 8x4-inch loaf pan and line with parchment paper.
Combine first five ingredients in a high-speed blender or food processor. Blend until smooth. Add coconut flour and baking powder and pulse until combined.
Pour batter into pan, and bake about 50 min-1 hr, or until firm in the center. Allow to cool. Loaf will sink a bit after cooling - this is normal. Refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours before slicing.
Slice into approximately 30 stick shapes. Heat a tablespoon of butter in a skillet over low-medium heat. Fry sticks in batches, turning until golden brown on all sides.
Coat each stick in mixture of sweetener and pumpkin pie spice.
Combine softened cream cheese and syrup.
Dip, and enjoy!

Notes

Sweetener: Use a granulated erythritol/monk fruit blend for the best texture in the coating.
Pumpkin Purée: Be sure to use pure unsweetened pumpkin purée, not pumpkin pie filling, which contains added sugar.
Flour Options: You can replace the coconut flour with another low-carb flour if needed, though you may want to add a few extra tablespoons.
Chilling: Refrigerating the loaf before slicing is key for getting clean cuts and preventing crumbling when frying.
Make Ahead: The loaf can be baked 1–2 days in advance, then sliced and fried fresh when ready to serve.
Dip Texture: Adjust the maple cream cheese dip by adding more sugar-free syrup for a thinner consistency or less for a thicker frosting-like texture.
