Healthy Holiday Pumpkin Bread ~ Gluten-Free & Vegan

Healthy holiday pumpkin bread is perfect for breakfast, brunch, and all-day snacking. This allergy-friendly quick bread is so good I nearly ate the whole loaf myself. The recipe can be used for muffins and baked donuts as well. If you drizzle powdered sugar icing over top it would definitely qualify as a dessert.

I like this pumpkin bread best with raisins and dried wild blueberries, but many people like chocolate chips mixed in the batter. There are endless options for the different add-ins you could choose.

Pumpkin is one of those foods that are often labeled as a superfood; here are some of the reasons why:

  • It’s rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants
  • Vitamin A protects your eyesight
  • Antioxidants give your immune system a boost
  • Being rich in soluble fiber it Improves and normalizes bowel function
  • Low calorie
  • Contains compounds that are good for your skin

Gluten-Free Baking Blend like King Arthur Measure For Measure Gluten-Free Flour or feel free to use all-purpose flour if you are not gluten-free

To freeze the pumpkin bread place the whole loaf or slice and layer the sections with parchment paper in a freezer bag or a freezer-safe container.

These loaf pans with removable liners make removing the baked pumpkin bread so easy. I have a similar one that I use all the time and never need additional oil or non-stick sprays.


Enjoy!
