Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 cup sugar (or coconut sugar for a healthier option)
  • ½ cup vegetable oil or melted coconut oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup chopped nuts or chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and spices until well combined.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the sugar and oil. Add the eggs, pumpkin puree, and vanilla extract, and stir until smooth.
  4. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. If desired, fold in the nuts or chocolate chips.
  5. Pour into Loaf Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  6. Bake: Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
