Gluten Free Pumpkin Bread (You Won’t Miss the Gluten!)

Gluten Free Pumpkin Bread is the perfect fall recipe! And this pumpkin bread is so fluffy and moist you won’t be able to tell it is gluten free…

For the past several years, I have been trying to reduce gluten and limit my grains in an effort to ease my stomach issues and lower my carbohydrate intake.

For several months, I was completely off gluten and rarely had grains. But, I fell off that wagon and lately I have been eating some grains.

A few years ago, my daughter went through testing for celiac disease. While her results said she did not have celiac disease, I started working on my gluten free recipe repertoire. Even if she doesn’t have celiac, I want to create gluten free treats her and the rest of our family.

I had a craving for pumpkin the other night, so I decided to whip up a gluten free pumpkin bread.

I have been researching and testing out different flour combinations and this one worked incredibly well. I actually wrote another whole blog post about how to make the perfect gluten free flour mix.

Gluten Free Pumpkin Bread Recipe

In this recipe, I used a larger percentage of almond flour, as well as coconut flour, to add more nutritional value to my pumpkin loaf. The almond and coconut flours also added great flavor and texture.

For this batch, I used butter, but you can use coconut oil if you want. I also used organic sugar that I have in my pantry from our recent work with Wholesome Sweeteners, but you can replace the sugar with honey or omit it entirely.

I used ceramic mini loaf baking dishes – I picked them up for a $1.50 each at Michaels – and the smaller size is perfect for these gluten free pumpkin loaves. The smaller size allows the center of the loaf to cook through. No one wants a mushy, uncooked mess in the center of the bread.

This gluten free pumpkin bread recipe filled three of these little loaf pans. They make perfect last minute neighbor or hostess gifts this holiday season.

Just make sure you cool the bread completely before wrapping them up. And good luck not eating them while you wait.

I ate TWO loaves myself as I worked until the wee hours. They were so delicious — I couldn’t stop!

I promise, you will not miss the gluten. Your biggest problem will probably be stopping from devouring entire loaves all by yourself.
