Super moist pumpkin bread that is gluten-free and vegan? Yes, this is possible and here it is! This recipe is so easy and can be a loaf or muffins.

Be sure to check out more of my gluten-free baked goods including my gluten-free banana bread, gluten-free zucchini, carrot, apple muffins and my moist, fluffy gluten-free lemon blueberry bread.

Ingredients

Gluten-free flour blend – I have used several different gluten-free flour blends for this recipe and they all worked well. My custom blend of sorghum, millet and brown rice flours with potato and tapioca starches is my favorite. It has better flavor than your average rice based blend.

Here is my special flour blend that I love for this recipe and many more of my gluten-free recipes:

  • 1 c sweet white sorghum flour
  • 3/4 c millet flour
  • ΒΌ c brown rice flour
  • 2/3 c potato starch
  • 1/3 c tapioca starch

See the notes in the recipe for a super simple DIY gluten-free flour blend or my blog post on gluten-free flour mixes and blends.

If you prefer a store bought blend, I like King Arthur Gluten-Gluten Free Measure for Measure. Omit the xanthan gum in the recipe if your flour blend already contains xanthan gum or guar gum.

Flax seed meal – In place of eggs I have used a “flax egg.” This is simply flax seed meal with warm water. I find that store bought egg replacers do not work well in gluten-free recipes. I also tested ground chia seed and the result was much more dense.

Pumpkin puree – Be sure that you use pumpkin puree as opposed to pumpkin pie filling. They are very different.

Spices – My favorite blend of autumn spices is cinnamon, ginger and clove. A pumpkin spice blend would work or any combination of cinnamon, ginger, clove, nutmeg and allspice. Feel free to make up your own blend, keeping the total amount of spice the same as called for in the recipe. The best source for certified. gluten-free spices is Spicely Organics. You may have seen them at your market in the little green boxes.

I found that the whiskey flavor faded a little bit in baking so I created a peanut butter whiskey icing to make sure that they taste boozy.

I normally make my baked goods dairy-free too, but I wanted a buttery tasting muffin. So these muffins start with creamed butter and sugar for a muffin with a beautiful texture and flavor. I used Namaste Gluten-Free flour, but the recipe works well with other gluten-free flour blends.

I may post a lot of baked goods on my insta, but I am really a salad person. I live on them year-round. So coming up with new and interesting dressings is key. The combo of sweet basil, tangy lemon and a small amount of sweet and salty, makes for a perfectly balanced dressing. The recipe includes instructions on how you can easily turn this into a creamy dressing if you prefer.

The cake gets a double dose of lemon flavor from lots of lemon zest and lemon extract. I tried lemon juice and found that I had to use way too much to get the lemon zing that I wanted. So I leave it out and rely on the zest and extract.
πŸ‹πŸŽ‚πŸ‹
The recipe is super easy and can be made dairy-free with the use of your favorite dairy-free milk sub. I like soy milk for baking the best.

Both of these boozy milkshakes start with a base of vanilla ice cream, a big spoonful of peanut butter and a shot or two of peanut butter whiskey. And good news, these can easily be made dairy free and gluten-free. My blog post provides info on the best dairy-free ice cream and creamers to use for a shake as well as gf cookies.
