I’m In Love With This Recipe!
My goodness, who knew that pumpkin bread could taste so incredibly amazing! As many of you know, I try my hardest to stay away from wheat, grains, and gluten.
Do I live and die by these guidelines? Of course not! I believe in a balance.
Baking bread can be such a challenge when you are not using all purpose flours (wheat) or if you are using gluten free or grain free ingredients.

I just made this. I substituted 3/4 cup of King Arthur Gluten free flour to mix up the almond texture. Then I used organic cane sugar and a TSP molasses. Added walnuts. Great texture but VERY BITTER. Please tll me what happened.
I have use Simple mix with almond flour base and it turns out wonderful and not overly sweet.

Great recipe! Just came out of the oven fluffy and delicious. I used 1 cup almond meal and 1 cup spelt flour, because I had run out of almond. And MCT oil instead of coconut oil. Super easy. I will be making again! Thank you
Lilly says
This recipe is perfect. I added raisins and walnuts and topped it with a few chocolate chips. Wow,
Halle Cottis says
Happy you enjoyed it Lilly, your additions sound wonderful!

I have made this over the past several years and we all love the taste, however, we are at high altitude (~5000 feet) and I wonder how to adjust the recipe. Sometimes it comes out and just flops in the middle.
Gigi says
Best pumpkin bread ever! I used maple syrup instead of honey. Thank you so much for this recipe!
Heather says
My family and I love this recipe! I add raisins and grated carrots. It reminds me of carrot cake.

I had a hard time getting out of pan and my first impression of tasting it was “meh”. Then I put it in fridge overnight, tried next day and it was a very different experience! The flavors had set up and chilling this very moist bread made it easier to eat as it’s quite delicate and falls apart easily. I’m making another one today—thank you for a great recipe.
Halle Cottis says
Great tip Julie, thanks for sharing and glad you are now enjoying the bread!

I have been looking for a pumpkin recipe made with almond flour and I came across this today. I grew up eating my mother’s pumpkin bread, which I loved and have made myself, dozens and dozens of times. But her recipe came off the back of the Libby’s can and called for white flour and white sugar and margerine (!!). I tweaked it to be a bit healthier by using whole wheat pastry flour, freshly roasted pumpkin, butter, and reducing the sugar a good bit. However as I’ve gotten older I’ve become quite hypoglycemic and so have cut out most baking, but I missed pumpkin bread. I made another almond flour pumpkin bread recipe last week, but it was a heavy, dense brick. So after reading all the comments here and doing some reading about GF baking in my America’s Test Kitchen paleo cookbook, I tweaked this recipe. I used 1-3/4 cup almond flour and 1/4 cup arrowroot flour. I used 1/2 cup honey as suggested in the comments, and tripled the spices. After combining everything in the food processor I let the batter sit while I preheated the oven (America’s Test Kitchen says the arrowroot needs time to absorb liquid). After 50 minutes in the oven it had risen up beautifully and smelled wonderful, but my knife came out with batter on it. It needed about an hour and ten minutes total before it was done. I couldn’t wait for it to cool completely and just ate a big slice. Amazing!! The texture is perfect. I think it needs even more cinnamon — the spices are very subtle. But I’m super happy with how it turned out and bet it will be even tastier tomorrow.

I am looking for a non sweet moist bread and this looks like a great option. I notice many comments wanted it sweeter, maybe because they are seeking traditional pumpkin sweet bread? I would love a bread just for any use like sandwich or to add topping such as a avacado. Is this recommended or do you have another recipe you recommend. I like that this one only has 3 eggs. Thanks for posting
Halle Cottis says
I actually have two bread recipes that I would recommend for that.
Gluten-Free Sandwich Bread With Oats
The Best Gluten-Free Bread Recipe Ever!
Give it a whirl and let me know what you think!
Stephanie says
I want to try your sandwich bread recipes but they both have yeast in them. I have a problem with yeast so I have been staying away from it. This may sound like a stupid question but is there any comparable recipe that you know of that would be like your Best Gluten-Free Bread Recipe Ever… but without yeast??? That recipe looks so good!
John says
Use the ballet to make some oat flour. Half almondand half oat. Substitute walnut oil for flavor and omega 3. If it’s still to bland for you make a hazelnut/honey/walnut oil crumb for the top before you throw it in the oven.
belle says
The recipe is missing clear information on the amount of Coconut Oil 1/4 what ? Cup?
Halle Cottis says
Hi Belle,
Thanks for bringing this to my attention. It is 1/4 cup, I corrected it in the recipe. Thanks again!
