HOW TO MAKE THIS QUICK BREAD RECIPE
STEP 1: Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl.
STEP 2: Whisk together the wet ingredients until combined.
STEP 3. Whisk together the gluten-free pumpkin batter ingredients or use an electric mixer.
STEP 4. Spray a bread loaf pan with cooking spray, add the pumpkin bread batter and bake until golden brown and cooked through- about 50-55 minutes. You can also line the pan with parchment paper first. After the gluten-free pumpkin bread bakes, let it cool for 20 minutes then remove from the pan and finish cooling on a cooling rack. It slices best after 1 day.
FAQs and EXPERT BAKING TIPS
If the bread sinks in after its cooled, it needed more time baking. Test first with a toothpick inserted in the center. If it sank, it may need an additional 5 minutes of baking time.
When baked goods burn, the heat on the oven is off and needs to be rechecked and turned down during baking. Decrease it by 25 degrees and bake an additional 10-15 minutes.
No, you need to use pumpkin puree, which does not have additional spices in it.
Yes! Just add 1 1/2 cup of your favorite chocolate chip morsels. My kids really love this pumpkin bread that way!
