This healthy Gluten Free Pumpkin Bread, made with no refined sugar or wheat flour,  is packed full of delicious Fall flavors. 

I have already started my pumpkin cravings with so much excitement for crisp air that will be moving in sooner than we think.  Recipes like this one and others like Pumpkin Coffee Cake and Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars really set the mood for Fall baking.

Yesterday I made this healthy gluten free pumpkin bread. Most recipes you find for pumpkin bread have so much sugar added. Most recipes I find have 1 cup but some had as much as 2 cups! I decided to use a little maple syrup to sweeten this loaf.Honey would be just a great too.

I’m sometimes a little nervous when deciding to change a recipe with healthy swaps because there are failed attempts sometimes. They still get eaten but they just aren’t worthy of photos and sharing with all of you.  There might be an extra glasses of milk needed because it is too dry or it comes out too wet because I added too much oil or yogurt. That’s truly the fun part of creating for me though.

I used oat flour in this recipe instead of whole wheat flour. I debated but decided I wanted to go gluten free. You can easily make your own oat flour by just grinding old fashioned oats in a food processor or blender. Just be sure to measure the amount needed AFTER the oats are ground. Then I added some almond meal flour because I think it makes it more moist as well as adding a little more protein.

I am so proud of this pumpkin bread! It turned out so wonderfully moist and perfect.

    Great basic recipe, but not only did I amp up the spices, I also added xanthin gum and replaced some of the oil and syrup/honey with unsweetened applesauce, plus threw in raisins and chopped walnuts – definitely made the pumpkin bread more festive and flavorful, and was a real crowd pleaser for gluten free Thanksgiving!

    That looks really good! As someone with gluten sensitivities, it’s been a challenge to find a good gluten-free breads recipe like this that doesn’t require xanthum gum, which can be very hard on the digestive system. I’ve printed your recipe and can’t wait to try it! Stopping by from SITS Saturday Sharefest. So nice to connect with you!
