Recipe information

  • Yield

    makes 8 servings

Ingredients

1/2 cup canola oil
3/4 cup light agave nectar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups (1 15-ounce can) pumpkin purée
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
3 cups Basic Gluten-Free Flour Mix (page 19)
3/4 teaspoon xanthan gum
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup pumpkin seeds (optional)

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9 by 5-inch loaf pan and sprinkle with a little gluten-free flour mix, tapping out any extra.

    Step 2

    In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the canola oil, agave nectar, and vanilla, mixing on medium speed for 20 seconds.

    Step 3

    Add the pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger, and mix for 20 seconds.

    Step 4

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour mix, xanthan gum, baking soda, and salt.

    Step 5

    Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix until combined, 30 seconds. Fold in the pumpkin seeds.

    Step 6

    Fill the loaf pan with batter.

    Step 7

    Bake in the center of the oven for 30 minutes, rotate the pan, reduce the temperature to 325°F, and bake for about 40 minutes more, or until lovely golden brown on top and a skewer inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean. Let cool for about 20 minutes in the pan before transferring to a cooling rack.
