Gluten Free Pumpkin Quick Bread
1. Almond Flour Pumpkin Bread from Eat Yourself Skinny
Dubbed at the best pumpkin bread, from the looks of the recipe, I can see why they set the bar so high. Made with almond flour, it has wholesome ingredients without being too heavy on the fat. Looks like a great option to try.
2. Simple Paleo Pumpkin Bread from Paleo Running Mama
This recipe sounds delicious and has the versatility I absolutely love. It looks a bit more dense than other recipes, but the heartiness is to be embraced in this recipe. It’s not intended to be light and fluffy. Subbing honey or other sweetener should not be a problem in this one.
3. Paleo Pumpkin Bread from A Saucy Kitchen
With one of the least amounts of flour I’ve seen in a bread recipe, this paleo pumpkin bread really hits the nail on the head for being nearly flour-free. With an increased egg count and boost in spices, it is a really good spin for this full of flavor bread.
4. Great Pumpkin Bread from Kitchen Treaty
As a cross between a cake and bread, this pumpkin bread is a moist slice of perfection. Heavy on the flavor, but also dairy free, it hits the spot when you crave a tender bread.
5. Pumpkin Bread from Comfy Belly
With a different twist on a recipe, this one is a ‘publisher experiment’. All that means is that the publisher has an existing recipe, but might change it up according to the reader comments. But with the spices, honey and smaller ratio of flour, it already looks like a winner.
