Warm spices like cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves fill this loaf with cozy flavor, while a full cup of pumpkin purée keeps every slice moist and dense in the best way. The gluten free flour blend gives it a sturdy, tender crumb that holds together beautifully for clean slices, and a handful of chopped walnuts or pecans adds a nice bit of crunch if you want it. Mixing wet and dry ingredients separately before folding them together keeps the batter smooth and free of lumps, and that long, slow bake at 350°F gets the top deeply golden while the inside stays soft. It rests right in the pan before you lift it out with the parchment sling, which makes for an easy, no-stick release every time. This one slices beautifully for breakfast, snacking, or dessert, and it's a solid pick for a dairy free baking rotation.

½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp xanthan gum (omit if your flour blend already contains it)
1 ½ tsp ground cinnamon
½ tsp ground ginger
¼ tsp ground nutmeg

½ tsp salt
1 cup canned pumpkin purée

Chef's tip
Use plain, unsweetened soy milk, measured 1:1. It's one of the most reliable milk swaps and works in sauces, custards, and baked goods. For hot or acidic drinks, a barista-style soy milk resists curdling.
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and line it with a strip of parchment paper that overhangs the two long sides, so you can lift the loaf out cleanly.
2
In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten free flour blend, baking soda, baking powder, xanthan gum, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and salt until evenly combined.
