I don’t think I will ever tire of using organic canned pumpkin…not after enjoying a slice of this moist gluten free pumpkin bread.
To make this gluten free dairy free pumpkin bread even more special, I added caramel chips. The sweetness of the caramel really blends together with the rich pumpkin flavors.
Pumpkin is such an incredible vegetable…its sweet earthy richness was just made to go with gluten free baking. It makes cookies and cakes so moist, it is impossible to know they are gluten free.
I had a cup of pumpkin puree left over from when I made pumpkin cookies the other day and I needed to use up the canned pumpkin before it spoiled.
This gluten free pumpkin bread in the morning is one of my favorite things to enjoy, especially with a cup of coffee.
Little did I expect my kids to eat most of this moist pumpkin bread before the next morning…and I didn’t get to enjoy it for breakfast.
(*Note to self, make two loaves next time and hide one!)
This recipe won’t use the whole can so here are more gluten free recipes that use pumpkin puree:
This pumpkin loaf is full of pumpkin and walnuts…and I couldn’t resist adding those caramel bits to add a richness to this recipe. (Feel free to skip the caramel bits, this moist cake is so good, you won’t even miss them.)
Enjoy because this is perfect gluten free pumpkin recipe for those who are Celiac and wheat free!
Fun Things to Add to Your Homemade Gluten Free Pumpkin Bread:
- Nuts of any kind. My favorite nuts for pumpkin bread are walnuts and pecans. Their nuttiness works with the earthiness of the pumpkin.
- Adding chocolate chips is also a delicious addition to pumpkin bread. You can use dark chocolate, milk chocolate, or even white chocolate chips in your recipe.
- Caramel chips. I may be addicted to those yummy chips!
- Mashed banana is also delicious when combined with pumpkin
What is the one cake you like to make that disappears quickly in your house?

I will definitely be hiding one 😉 Yum!
Pumpkin and caramel sound like such a dreamy combination in this bread!
They are pretty good together. I can’t resist 🙂
I just love the addition of caramel bits! I need to use up some pumpkin puree and I think I just found the answer! Thank you!
Thank you Elle 🙂
I never get tired of pumpkin, either :-). I’ve been known to buy a can of it in May — it’s such a wonderful addition to muffins, quick breads, oatmeal, etc.
Love the idea of those caramel bits in the bread. I wouldn’t have thought of that! Thanks for the inspiration and lovely-looking recipe!
Thank you for saying that 🙂 Team pumpkin year round!!
pumpkin and caramel sound amazing together!
I would love to try this recipe…I don’t need to worry about the gluten free part so what could I substitute Pamela’s Pancake and Baking mix with ..regular pancake mix ??
Hi Jill, That is a good question. The Pamela’s mix has almond flour, which is a different texture and absorbs liquid differently. I would give it a try, but I haven’t baked with gluten in 9 years so I am not sure I will be much help.
I am lactose intolerant. Is there a substitue for the plain yogurt? They make lactose free yogurts, but they are all flavored.
Hi Ellen, Actually Dream makes a dairy free yogurt (Coconut milk and almond milk options) that come in a plain flavor. If you can’t find this brand, vanilla will work. Just reduce the sugar a tiny bit if you use the vanilla. Please let me know how it turns out 🙂
