Perfect texture gluten-free bread

The Ingredients You'll Need:

The right ingredients are key to creating the perfect pumpkin bread. Here’s what you’ll need:

1 cup pumpkin puree

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp sea salt

1/2 cup cane sugar*

1/3 cup brown sugar

2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

3 large eggs

1/3 cup olive oil

1-1/2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour

2 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp ginger

1/2 tsp nutmeg

1/4 tsp cloves

Gather these ingredients; it’s time to bake!

*Maiah's note: this is the best organic fair-trade sugar and it's an amazing price on Amazon. If you shop through Amazon, I'll get a few cents and you'll get the deal! I also only have tried this recipe with this gluten-free flour so cannot vouch for others. Also, if you don't have brown sugar, I make my own by adding 1 TBSP molasses to every cup of sugar and mix well and store in an airtight container.

Prep Work

Setting yourself up for success is essential for great results.

1. Preheat the Oven: Heat it to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x5-inch loaf pan (I use these steel ones because they are cheap and work perfectly but if you have glass or a tin pan, you may need to adjust baking time so check after 45 min) by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper (I use parchment).

   
   

2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients until evenly mixed.

   
   

3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, blend the wet ingredients until smooth.

   
   

Time to Combine

Now comes the best part—mixing the ingredients together!

1. Add Wet to Dry: Pour the wet mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients.

   
   

2. Stir Gently: Use a spatula to mix until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread tender.

   
   

3. Incorporate Optional Add-ins: If you’d like, fold in chocolate chips, nuts, or seeds for added flavor and texture.

   
   

The Baking Process

Your batter is ready. Now it’s time to bake!

1. Transfer to Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.

   
   

2. Bake: Place it in your preheated oven and bake for 50 to 60 minutes. The bread is ready when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

   
   

3. Cool: Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then move it to a wire rack to cool completely.
