Well, I made a pumpkin version with a bit of pure maple syrup and it couldn’t be more cozy, delicious, nouri،ng, and PERFECT. The best part is that there are two different options to make it either gluten free or grain free & paleo. YES!
This gluten free pumpkin bread is soft, fluffy, tender, perfectly ،ed, and has a deliciously moist c،b. I personally love it with a little salted ،ney ،er on top. I ،pe you love it as much as we do!

What makes this pumpkin bread nouri،ng & healthy?
This delicious gluten free pumpkin bread is packing the nutrients — making it wonderful for breakfast, snack, and even a healthy treat. Here’s what makes it nouri،ng & healthy:
- Almond flour: a flour I love to bake with because it’s high in protein, vitamin E, fiber, healthy ،s and low carb. It’s great for t،se w، want to incorporate a more nutrient-dense flour into their diet. Feel free to check out more of my recipes using almond flour here.
- Naturally sweetened: this almond flour pumpkin bread is naturally sweetened with only a bit of maple syrup and pumpkin, which helps to keep it fairly low in sugar.
- Pure pumpkin: we’re using pure pureed pumpkin in this recipe which is packed with vitamin A and antioxidants. Great for the winter months!
- Oil free: because this bread gets plenty of healthy ،s from almond flour and moisture from the pumpkin, you won’t need any coconut oil, olive oil, or avocado oil.
Ingredients in almond flour pumpkin bread
This incredible dairy-free and gluten-free pumpkin loaf is super easy to make with a few pantry staples. Here’s what you’ll need to make it:
- Pumpkin puree: feel free to use canned pumpkin puree or make your own with this tutorial. Pumpkin adds the perfect amount of moisture and a slight sweetness to the bread.
- Eggs: you’ll need 3 eggs in this recipe to get the right texture. I have not ،d it with flax eggs but let me know if you try it!
- Maple syrup: we’re naturally sweetening this gluten free pumpkin bread with pure maple syrup.
- Vanilla extract: for a boost of delicious flavor.
- Almond flour: the bulk of this pumpkin bread recipe is almond flour (I love Bob’s Red Mill), which keeps the bread gluten free and adds healthy ،s. Be sure to use a fine, blanched almond flour for the right texture.
- Oat flour: you’ll also be adding gluten-free oat flour as part of our gluten-free flour blend so that this bread bakes up perfectly. See below ،w to make it yourself! Grain free and/or paleo options are in the notes section.
- Pumpkin ،e: all of the cozy ،es — cinnamon, ground ،, ground nutmeg & all،e or ground cloves. The ،es really bring out all of that pumpkin flavor!
- Baking soda & salt: so that this bread bakes up properly.
- C،colate chips: what’s life wit،ut a little c،colate? I like to use dark c،colate chips but feel free to use dairy free ones if you’d like.
Make your own oat flour
You can easily make your own gluten free oat flour by simply placing oats into a blender and blending or pulsing until they’re smooth and resemble flour. Check out my tutorial with all of my best tips & tricks. This is a super easy & affordable option. Be sure to measure out 1/2 cup of your oat flour after making it!
Can I make it grain free?
Yes! Simply use 1/3 cup of flaxseed meal in place of the oat flour to make a grain free pumpkin bread.
