Gluten-Free Pumpkin Pie Bread


Karina's Gluten-Free Pumpkin Pie Bread without xanthan gum. So good.


A Tea Bread Slice That Tastes Like Pie? Yes please.

For the holidays!

I am forever looking for ways to bake with pumpkin (aren't you, Babycakes?). So I absolutely had to share our latest recipe, baked fresh and warm and tender and spicy, just this morning, filling our chilly kitchen with the cozy autumnal aroma of pumpkin pie.

It was simply too darn tasty to keep to ourselves.

We are, after all, in the thick of the season of gratitude and giving.

And the best part is- for many of us- this gluten-free recipe has nary a single gum.

No xanthan gum. No guar gum. No locust bean gum.

No weirdo ingredients.

Just a whole lotta YUM.

Have a safe and delicious holiday weekend!

Karina's (Super Yum) Pumpkin Pie Bread Recipe - with No Xanthan Gum

Recipe by Karina Allrich 2015.

This easy to bake pumpkin bread slices into tender wedges of spicy, moist bread that goes perfectly with your favorite hot beverage. It's also a mighty tasty midnight snack.

Ingredients:

3/4 cup certified gluten-free oat flour (or sorghum flour)
3/4 cup sweet rice flour
1/2 cup corn flour (we use Bob's Red Mill certified GF)
1/4 cup flax seed meal
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon GF Pumpkin Pie Spice
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup organic vegetable oil
2 organic free-range eggs, beaten
3/4 cup canned pumpkin
1 tablespoon bourbon vanilla

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 375ºF.

Line an 8-inch cake pan with a piece of parchment paper.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flours, flax meal, baking powder, baking soda, sea salt, cinnamon, Pumpkin Pie Spice and brown sugar.

Add in the oil, eggs, pumpkin and vanilla. Beat until the batter is smooth and fluffy.

Scoop the batter into the cake pan and smooth out the top.

Feel the pan. If the batter feels cold- give it a few minutes it to come up to room temperature- this will help with the rise.

Place the pan in the center of the oven and set the timer for 15 minutes.

At 15 minutes, lower the temperature to 350ºF.

Bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, until the top is cracked a bit, and the center is firm and springy to a light touch. Use a cake tester inserted into the center to check doneness, if you have doubts. It should emerge clean.

Cool a bit on a wire rack before slicing and serving.

So good with a dab of butter.

Makes 8-10 slices.

*RECIPE NOTES:
I have been experimenting with flaxseed meal and sweet rice flour in recipes to eliminate the need for xanthan gum. I find I do not miss the gums at all with these additions.  

I gave up xanthan gum and carrageenan a few months ago- ingredients our grandmothers never heard of, or ingested- and my digestion has improved greatly. If you find you have some *issues* with certain gluten-free foods and recipes- check labels, and try eliminating the gums and carrageenan for two weeks to see if you fair better--- I did!

You know, those stalwart gotta have my meat and potatoes aficionados who eschew anything leafy. Who snicker at fiber. And mock carrot sticks. The sort of individual who gets misty eyed for melted butter and bacon martinis. To said individuals, salad could never be anything but rabbit chow. But this lovely mélange of flavors just might piqu...

Gluten-Free Goddess Zucchini Bread

Got Zukes Galore? Sharing a favorite summer recipe here on Gluten-Free Goddess-- a cinnamon laced tea bread made with garden fresh zucchini. You'll love it. And so will everyone else. I also jotted down some batter and baking tips for ya. See below. GFG Tips on gluten-free bread baking: Here's my all-time favorite baking pan for gluten-free breads. It's a lovely glazed ceramic pan that creates steady, even heating for gluten-free batters. In other words, it's as foolproof as you can get. Find it here at Amazon:  Good Cook 9-Inch Ceramic Loaf Pan . Make sure your batter isn't cold when you put it into the oven. If you keep your flours in the fridge, for instance, this will cool down your batter quite a bit. If you find your batter is cooler than room temperature, allow the batter to rest in the pan near the pre-heating stove and let it come to room temperature before you place the bread pan in the oven to bake (I also do this with cakes sometimes). The first time...

Coconut Milk Ice Cream Berry Parfaits

Image
Parfait this! Easy fancy for a long hot summer- so bookmark this one... a simple, creamy coconut ice cream recipe served parfait style with blueberries and strawberries. And it's naturally gluten-free and dairy-free. And because you make it yourself, gum-free and carrageenan-free. So many yays. It was sunny and hot yesterday, and today is a repeat. So during a heat wave, even a modest two-day hot fest, yours truly is unable to muster any enthusiasm for cooking. Typically, I live on gluten-free granola. And ice cream. Yes, I know. I am a poor, sad, sad role model. What kind of food blogger doesn't rise to the challenge and cheer-lead you to whip up baby kale and avocado salads and raw maca peach turmeric and oat milk smoothies? What kind of food blogger would simply give in to her sticky, prickly fatigue and general overall crankiness and not create some virtuous, nutrition packed bunny food miracle slurry for you? This one. She who is about to share a no-cook reci...
