Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups gluten-free flour blend I used KA Measure for Measure, see notes
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- ¾ teaspoon baking powder aluminum free
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon allspice
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ⅛ teaspoon ground clove
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup canned pumpkin pure (not pie mix) 8.4 ounces
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup light brown sugar, lightly packed 6 ounces
- 1 ½ teaspoons real vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup neutral flavored oil melted coconut oil or MCT oil
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 325°F. Spray a 9x5 light metal baking loaf pan.
- Measure out all of the dry ingredients and sift into a medium bowl or onto parchment or waxed paper.
- To a medium bowl add all of the wet ingredients. With an electric hand mixer whip until it's smooth and blended, about 1 minute.
- Add the dry ingredients into the smooth wet batter, start on low and build to high speed beating for 4 minutes. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth it out with a spatula. Bake for 1 hour, until a cake tester or long thin skewer comes out clean with just a few moist crumbs.
- Remove pan from the oven. Run a thin knife or thin metal spatula around the inside of the pan then gently turn the pumpkin bread out onto a wire cooling rack. Allow it to cool completely before slicing. Pumpkin bread lasts 3-4 days well wrapped on the counter or can be refrigerated. for freezing, after completely cooled, wrap in plastic wrap, then in aluminum foil, then place in a freezer zip bag for up to 3 months. Be sure to label and date the bag.
Notes
Flour
I tested with King Arthur Measure for Measure gluten-free flour which includes xanthan gum. Other flours will likely work, I just have not tested all of the options. If you're blend does not include xanthan gum, add ½ a teaspoon to the dry mix.
If you use another flour blend, drop a comment in a let me know, until I get more tested.
Spices
If you do not have all of the spices, use at least cinnamon and whatever else you have, but all of the spices do provide great flavor.
Oil
My oil preference for neutral oil is Zero Acre Farms. It's clean and healthy.
