Ingredients
1¾ cup Pumpkin puree
1 cup Brown sugar
4 Eggs
2 tsp Gluten-free vanilla extract
1 cup Brown rice flour
1 cup Tapioca flour
½ cup Sorghum flour
½ cup Potato starch
1 tsp Ground cinnamon
2 tsp Baking soda
½ tsp Baking powder
1 tsp Xanthan gum
Directions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined and smooth.
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the brown rice flour, tapioca flour, sorghum flour, potato starch, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and xanthan gum until evenly distributed.
Pour the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients and fold together gently until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Divide the batter evenly between two greased 8×4-inch loaf pans, smoothing the tops with a spatula.
Bake for 40–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs. The top should be lightly golden.
Remove the loaves from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Comments
This recipe demands a specialty stop: tapioca flour, sorghum flour, and xanthan gum are not stocked at Food Lion, Walmart, or ALDI in standard Charlotte locations, and you'll need Harris Teeter or Kroger's natural-foods section to source them all. At $3–4 per specialty flour and $5–7 for xanthan gum, the ingredient cost runs $12–15 total, or about $0.75–$0.95 per serving before pumpkin and basics—steep for quick bread. The stated 60 minutes ignores 15 minutes of measuring multiple flours and mixing; plan for 75 minutes actual time. This is a make-ahead dessert that reheats well and yields enough for breakfasts across a week, which suits planned eating, but it's not the impulse weeknight choice a standard pumpkin bread would be.
