Moist and fluffy gluten-free pumpkin bread with chai caramel glaze makes for an epic breakfast or snack! This warmly-spiced bread is made with almond flour and rice flour and naturally sweetened with pure maple syrup for a healthful approach to comfort food.
Well, hello, bliss!
Just when you thought life couldn’t get any sweeter, a loaf of autumn color and flavor just crash landed on your lap.
BOOM! Caramel drizzles and cinnamon-spiced crumbs everywhere.
But don’t worry…this loaf was why napkins were invented 😉
The texture of this bread is pure perfection. It’s as though all of the comfort sweaters simultaneously piled on top of you while you’re watching your program and some dreamy Greek God (or Goddess) tenderly plays with your hair. I wish I were kidding, but alas, I’m 200% cereal.
While I normally bake my treats in grain-free fashion, sometimes I throw in some rice flour to give them some extra fluff for those times I’m itching for an ultra comforting result.
I’ve found the combination of almond flour and rice flour to be on point AF when it comes to yielding a treat that has a near identical texture to one made with regular all-purpose flour
The gluten-free pumpkin bread doesn’t turn out overly sweet, which is why I drizzle it with Chai-Spiced Paleo Salted Caramel to ramp up the sweet level a tad.
You can serve the bread with a dollop of butter and a drizzle of pure maple syrup or honey for an epic breakfast or snack. If you like your quick bread on the sweeter side, you can even add some coconut sugar or cane sugar to the bread batter (I’d start with ¼ cup and go from there).
If you have Pumpkin Pie Spice on hand, use 1.5 to 2 tablespoons of it instead of all of the spices listed in the recipe. It’ll help minimize prep substantially!
How to Make Gluten-Free Pumpkin Bread:
As per ush, we simply toss all of our bread ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Pour the batter into a loaf pan, bake for 50ish minutes, then allow the bread to cool before cutting into it.
Drizzle with homemade caramel (or your favorite glaze), then enjoy!

Gluten-Free Pumpkin Bread
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup pumpkin puree I used canned
- 3/4 cup full-fat canned coconut milk
- 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup finely ground almond flour
- 1 cup brown rice flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
For Serving:
- Chai-Spiced Salted Caramel optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F, and line a 9" x 5" loaf pan with parchment paper.
- Add all ingredients for the bread to a blender and blend until well-combined (Note: if you don't have a blender, you can use a hand mixer by beating the wet ingredients together first and then adding the dry ingredients).
- Pour the pumpkin bread batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread into an even layer. Bake on the center rack of the preheated oven for 55 minutes, or until the center has set up. Turn off the oven and allow the bread to sit in the hot oven for 10 minutes longer.
- Remove bread from the oven and allow it to cool 1 hour before turning it out onto a cutting board, drizzling it with Chai-Spiced Paleo Salted Caramel, and cutting into slices. Enjoy!

Just checking that this is 2 tablespoons of ground cinnamon and not a typo.
By the way I made your immunity soup and it was delicious! So I am trying out your other recipes :)

Hi Donna! I use that amount of cinnamon but you can absolutely decrease the amount if you'd like :) It seems like many recipes would use 1 to 2 teaspoons, which I personally don't think is enough but you can gauge the amount you use based on how much you enjoy cinnamon :)
