Gluten Free Pumpkin Bread Recipe
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 both Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1 Flour or King Arthur Measure for Measure Flour to equally replace the wheat flour and either worked perfectly. These are my go-to gluten free replacement flours that help create the same soft and fluffy texture you would expect from wheat flour!
I bake this gluten free pumpkin bread with my 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, homemade 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 can also use this pumpkin bread batter in muffin pans and pack them in lunches for an afternoon lunchbox treat.

If you've never made homemade pumpkin puree, I definitely recommend trying it this fall to get the best pumpkin taste in your recipes. The stuff in the can is good, but the homemade kind is bursting with fresh pumpkin flavor!
How To Make This Easy Pumpkin Bread Recipe
In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, salt & spices.Then in a separate bowl, beat the eggs and sugar on medium speed. Add the pumpkin puree, then slowly add the water and oil beating well after each addition. Add the flour mixture and beat on low until well combines.
Pour the batter into two greased loaf pans, dividing evenly. Bake for about 1 hour or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Let the loaves cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then turn out onto a rack to cool completely.
