This Is The Best Pumpkin Bread I’ve Ever Made (And It’s Gluten Free!)

Gluten free baking can be hit-or-miss, but every once in a while you'll find a recipe that is a Certified Keeper. Much like this delicious pumpkin bread recipe!

Gluten Free Pumpkin Bread

The recipe I’ll be sharing with you today came into my life courtesy of our lovely neighbor Sharon. She brought a loaf of gluten free pumpkin bread over for us, and my son Kell ate the entire loaf within an hour.

(Typically I would not condone this such selfish behavior, especially when delicious treats are involved. But since he’s the only one in the family with celiac disease, I can’t really blame him for getting carried away on the rare occasion that a neighbor brings over something he can actually eat.)

Anyway, the very next day I asked Sharon if she would be willing to share her recipe with me. She graciously agreed, and I ended up making this recipe a concerning number of times in the following weeks.

This gluten free pumpkin bread is just that good! It’s moist, flavorful, and the texture is just right, so go ahead and give this recipe a try! (It makes two loaves, and if you happened to set one of them aside for yourself, your secret would be safe with me!) ;-)

With your mixer on low speed, add the eggs, vegetable oil, brown sugar, white sugar, lemon juice, and pumpkin puree one at a time.

After adding all of the ingredients, increase to high speed and continue mixing for 2 to 3 minutes.

Divide the batter between the greased loaf pans. Bake at 300°F for about 1 hour 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. (Start checking around the 1 hour mark. Mine are usually done closer to 1 hour 10 minutes, but maybe my oven just runs hot!)

GIRLFRIEND. Please, please, please step away from the vegetable oil in clear plastic containers and consult with a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner in your area (or myself) on healthier alternatives such as grass-fed butter, organic ghee, or organic avocado oil, all of which are health-promoting. NOTE: Vegetable oil, margarine, shortening, ANYTHING THAT TURNS TO TRANS FAT all cause heart disease and affect everything in the body down to the cell membrane. If your cells aren’t healthy, your tissues aren’t healthy, leading to your organs not being healthy, your systems aren’t healthy, and this leads to overall bad health.

Thanks for sharing these tips. In many of my recipes I do opt for healthier substitutes such as the ones you have mentioned above. However, sometimes I like to use “old-school” recipes with ingredients that may not be the healthiest… comfort food. It’s all about moderation. :-)

I’m not gluten-intolerant, so I wonder if regular ‘ol flour would work?

Sure you could. I just like to offer gluten-free recipes at times because so many people are gluten-intolerant.

So if I use regular flour, do I still need the xanthan gum? Should I use something else in it’s place?

I love your tips and often spend over an hour going from one post to another. Thanks for all your help! I especially like the DIY things as I have a very limited income.

The xanthan gum only needs to be added to gluten free flour… and only if the gluten free flour does not already contain it.

3 cups of sugar? Yikes. Isn’t that a lot of sugar even for 2 loaves?

You can try using less or perhaps use a sugar substitute if you choose.

Just an FYI: be careful using oat flour for celiacs or those with gluten intolerance. Although oats are naturally gluten free, they are grown next to the wheat fields and become tainted. The oat flour must state “certified gluten free”. …that means the oats are grown no where near wheat. There are several products on the market labeled gluten free (but contain oat flour) that I am unable to eat.

Is the xanthan gum necessary? What purpose does it serve?

Definitely necessary for this recipe. Try a gluten free all purpose flour that already has the xanthan gum in it. The purpose is to hold the GF flour together.

In gluten-free baking, you need to rely on xanthan gum to provide elasticity and stickiness in doughs and batters. Since gluten is not present, you need something that acts as the binding agent for the flour. It helps hold onto some moisture and helps give the baked good some structure. Some gluten-free flour and baking mixes already have the xanthan gum in it, so check the ingredients. Xanthan gum is a natural additive and is a corn-based.

I’ve also gotten a lot of g free recipes from this blog. I’m wondering about trying a flour blend for this. I’ve used the Xantham gum before and it’s expensive.
