The BEST Gluten-Free Pumpkin Bread

The BEST Gluten-Free Pumpkin Bread (1 Bowl!) 

Ingredients 

• 1/2 cup avocado oil (use a brand with a neutral flavor — typically clear in color // or sub other neutral oil or melted butter) 

• 1 ¼ cup organic cane sugar 

• 3 large eggs 

• 1 (15 oz) can pumpkin purée 

• 2/3 cup almond flour* 

• 1 ⅓ cup GF Flour Blend 

• 1 ½ tsp baking soda 

• 1 tsp sea salt 

• 1 ½ tsp ground cinnamon 

• 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice (or sub an extra 1/2 tsp cinnamon and 1/4 tsp each ground nutmeg and ginger) 

Instructions 

1. Position oven rack in the center of the oven, preheat oven to 325 degrees F (162 C), and line a loaf pan with parchment paper*. Leave enough parchment sticking up around the sides of the pan to lift/remove the loaf later. 

2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the avocado oil, cane sugar, and eggs. Whisk well until evenly combined and silky. Add the pumpkin purée and mix until fully incorporated, then the dry ingredients: almond flour, gluten-free flour blend, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice, and whisk once more until smooth. 

3. Transfer batter to the prepared loaf pan and bake on the center rack of the oven for 75- 90 minutes or until a toothpick/skewer inserted all the way into the center comes out completely clean. Poke a few spots to ensure it’s fully baked. The outside of the bread will get dark in color, but it shouldn’t burn (you can cover with foil if it is). 

4. Remove from the oven and let the bread cool for ~10 minutes in the loaf pan, then use the edges of the parchment paper to lift the loaf out of the pan and place on a cooling rack. For best texture, we recommend letting the loaf cool completely before slicing, ~2-3 hours. You can encourage the cooling process by placing it by a cool window or turning on a fan. 

5. Once fully cooled, slice and enjoy! Leftover bread keeps for 2-3 days at room temperature, or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. It’s delicious reheated in an oven or toaster oven! The loaf can also be frozen (sliced or whole) for up to 1 month.
