Homemade Pumpkin Bread is a favorite Fall recipe that's loaded with warming spices and packed with tons of pumpkin flavor. It will make your house smell so good that you'll forget you just bought a pumpkin spice candle! This delicious pumpkin bread recipe is super moist and both gluten-free & dairy-free.
Homemade Gluten-Free Pumpkin Bread
I typically like to "healthify" baking recipes, but in this case I didn't change a thing in this classic recipe that my mom has been making for over 30 years...EXCEPT for the flour!
I have tested this recipe with either Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1 Flour or King Arthur Measure for Measure Flour to equally replace the wheat flour and both worked perfectly. These are my go-to gluten-free replacement flours that help create the same soft & fluffy texture you would expect from wheat flour!
Now, I bake this pumpkin bread in this gluten-free version with my own kids every year, and it’s just as good as it was back then. It’s easy to make — just a few minutes of mixing and stirring, pop it in the oven, and in about an hour, you’ll have a house smelling of Fall spices and two scrumptious, pumpkin loaves.
This recipe makes two loaves and you don't want to cut it in half! If you won't be eating both right away, go ahead and freeze the second loaf. You could also use this pumpkin bread batter in muffin pans and pack them in lunches for an afternoon lunchbox treat.
