To Make Pear-Berry Pumpkin Bread, You Will Need These Ingredients:

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
Granulated sugar
Cinnamon
Pumpkin pie spice ~ here is my version of homemade pumpkin pie spice
Baking powder ~ corn-free if needed
Baking soda
Salt
Hemp seeds ~ optional
Canned pumpkin
Dairy-free milk substitute ~ regular milk is fine if tolerated
Vanilla extract
Dried pears, dried blueberries ~ dried cranberries for Low FODMAP
Chopped walnuts ~ optional

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.

Loaf pans with lift-out inserts 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.


This pumpkin bread recipe can also be used for muffins and baked donuts. If you drizzle powdered sugar icing over the top, it will qualify as a dessert.

This gluten-free and vegan recipe is sure to please the whole family. It’s a perfect breakfast or brunch idea and a healthy snack.
