This is the most delicious Gluten Free Pumpkin Bread I have ever made. It’s moist, flavorful and most importantly, not grainy like most gluten free bread.
I have something important to talk to you about today. I need help. How do you get a dog to not smell like a dog? Our new puppy Cooper is the cutest but…well…he stinks.
We have given him two baths in the three weeks he’s been with us. What a show that was. My kids helped me but we had to use all our power to keep him in the tub long enough to get a quick wash.
Unfortunately, when he was dry, he still smelled like a dog. Do I have to take him to a groomer to get that yummy doggy smell? Is there no such thing as a yummy doggy smell? Did I mention I am not yet a dog person?
One good way to deal with that dog smell in the kitchen is to bake bread. This is the best gluten-free bread I have ever made. It doesn’t have that grainy rice flour texture that sometimes plagues gluten free baked goods.
Your friends will never know this is gluten free, I promise.
It is full of lots of pumpkin flavor and plenty of brown sugar. I chose to use all brown sugar to give it a bit more rich molasses flavor and it works well with the pumpkin and the spices.
I prefer to use mini chocolate chips because they sink less and give each bite a bit of chocolate instead of a big clump. We love Enjoy Life chocolate chips. They cost a bit more but are the best allergy friendly chocolate chips available.
This is not a recipe that offers a lot of flexibility. I would not suggest any flour substitutions. Gluten free baking is tricky. Always make sure all your ingredients are labeled gluten-free.

Man this looks delicious! I love all things pumpkin ๐ I will have to try this recipe out!!! Thanks for the gorgeous photos!
Thanks!
This sounds AMAZING and I’m sure will be a hit! I have a quick question about the way that the recipe is written… The first two lines read:
* 1 1/2 cups Cup 4 Cup Gluten Free Flour
* 1 1/2 cups Bob’s Red Mill 1 to 1 Gluten Free Baking Flour
Are there two different types of flour? Also, does the first line call for 1 1/2 cups or 4 cups? I’m pretty new to GF baking and some of the terminology, so I apologize if there is an obvious answer that I just don’t know about yet! LOL
Thanks! ๐
Hi Sarah, Yes it’s two different flours. One is called “Bob’s Red Mill 1 to 1 Baking Flour” and the other is called “Cup 4 Cup Gluten Free Flour”. If you prefer you could use all of one type and I would recommend the Bob’s Red Mill one. It’s a total of 3 cups of flour. Good luck!
Hello, Thank you for the beautiful recipe. I am wondering if we can substitute a flour that is GMO free and Organic. As far as I know Bob’s Red Mill is neither. You suggest no substitutes. Can You suggest something?
Thank you.
No sorry I have only tried this recipe with Bob’s.
