Total Time: 1 hrs 15 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 1 loaf
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
- 1/4 cup streusel topping (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray or line with parchment paper.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
- In a separate large mixing bowl, combine pumpkin puree, sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, and eggs. Mix thoroughly until smooth and well blended.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
- If using, fold in the chopped nuts into the batter, distributing them evenly.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly across the top of the batter.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove from oven and let the bread cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes.
- Carefully remove the bread from the pan and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
- Once cooled, slice and serve. Store any remaining bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Tips
- Always use fresh, high-quality gluten-free flour blend to ensure the best texture and taste.
- Don't overmix the batter – mix just until ingredients are combined to keep the bread tender.
- Use room temperature eggs and pumpkin puree for more even mixing and better rise.
- Check the bread's doneness by inserting a toothpick – it should come out clean with just a few moist crumbs.
- Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing to help it set and prevent crumbling.
- For extra moisture, you can add a tablespoon of Greek yogurt or applesauce to the wet ingredients.
- Store the bread in an airtight container to maintain its freshness and prevent it from drying out.
- For added flavor, toast the chopped nuts before adding them to the batter to enhance their nutty taste.
