    Previously, I have shared a parve (kosher non-dairy) pumpkin loaf recipe, but this recipe is gluten free and refined sugar free too. Indulge in the irresistible harmony of flavors with this almond flour pumpkin bread. Each slice encapsulates the essence of autumn, blending the richness of pumpkin with the delicate nuttiness of almond flour for a gluten-free delight that's both wholesome and decadent.

    Ingredients

    The ingredients for this pumpkin bread are pumpkin puree, almond flour, eggs, maple syrup, pumpkin spice, baking soda, vanilla, and salt.

    Pumpkin puree

    Make sure to use pure pumpkin puree and not pie filling as it contains sugar and other ingredients we don’t need in this recipe. Pumpkin is very healthy and full of vitamins, iron, and folate. Pumpkin is low in calories and very versatile so it's easy to add it to your diet.

    Almond flour 

    I like to use almond flour in my gluten free baking. Ground almonds or almond meal is almost the same product, the difference is the level of fines in grinding the almonds. Almond flour is the finest version and it gives a moist texture when baking with it thanks to the essential oils in the almonds.

    Maple syrup 

    This pumpkin bread is not very sweet, I used only ½ cup of maple syrup, if you want it sweeter add ¼ cup more or garnish the bread with some sweet glaze or powdered sugar.

    Pumpkin spice 

    I like to make a batch of homemade pumpkin pie spice at the beginning of the fall for all my pumpkin recipes. It's easy and only takes a few minutes to mix 5 spices and get this spice blend ready for use. If you don’t want to bother, just use a store-bought pumpkin spice mix.

    Process

    The process of making this delicious pumpkin bread is very simple and quick. Mix all ingredients well in a bowl and transfer to a loaf pan to bake it. The baking is the longer part here though, 45-50 minutes.

    This pumpkin bread is dairy free and gluten free and made with almond flour only. It can fit any time and any meal but it’s best on a chilly fall day. This pumpkin bread is also free of refined sugar as long as you don’t add any powdered sugar for garnish or a sweet glaze. It has a rustic homey look and a moist texture. You can feel the different spices in the pumpkin spice mix in every bite. Since the bread is not very sweet it can fit as a savory breakfast bite or as a healthy dessert option.

    If you want to upgrade this bread a bit you can add ½ cup chocolate chips or pecan nuts. It's delicious as is but also fun with an adding too.

    FAQS

    What makes this pumpkin bread gluten-free?

    This pumpkin bread recipe is gluten-free because it uses almond flour instead of traditional wheat flour. Almond flour is naturally gluten-free and adds a nutty flavor and moist texture to the bread.

    Can I substitute eggs in this recipe for an egg-free version?

    While eggs provide structure and moisture to the bread, you can try using egg substitutes like flax eggs or applesauce to make it egg-free. Keep in mind that the texture and rise of the bread may be slightly different.

    Can I add nuts or raisins to the pumpkin bread batter?

    Absolutely! You can customize the recipe by adding chopped nuts, such as walnuts or pecans, or raisins to the batter for added texture and flavor.

    How should I store the gluten-free pumpkin bread?

    Once the bread has cooled completely, you can wrap it in plastic wrap or place it in an airtight container. It's best stored at room temperature for a day or two, or you can refrigerate it for longer freshness.

    Can I freeze the pumpkin bread?

    Yes, you can freeze the pumpkin bread. Slice it into individual portions, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil, and store in a freezer-safe bag. Thaw slices in the refrigerator or at room temperature.

    Can I serve this pumpkin bread with any spreads or toppings?

    Certainly! You can enjoy slices of this pumpkin bread on their own, or spread with butter, cream cheese, nut butter, or your favorite jam for an extra layer of flavor.

    Can I make muffins instead of a loaf with this recipe?

    Absolutely! You can use this batter to make pumpkin muffins by pouring it into muffin tins lined with paper liners. Adjust the baking time accordingly; muffins will likely bake faster than a full loaf.
