The Taste of Fall

My children loved having chocolate chip banana bread as a breakfast treat when they were growing up. However, once the leaves start falling, I put the banana bread recipe card away and pulled out my delicious gluten and dairy free pumpkin spice bread recipe. The spices bring the flavors of fall into my home.

Pour 1 cup of oil into maple pumpkin spice batter.

This is a great time to rinse out the left over pumpkin left behind in the measuring cup. Measure and pour in 1/2 cup of water. The warm water will activate the baking soda and baking powder.

Now set aside batter.

Combine Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, combine all of your dry ingredients for the gluten free holiday pumpkin bread:

3/4 Cup of Coconut Flour
millet flour in a glass bowl sitting on a black glass stovetop with the bag of millet sitting behind it
1 1/4 Cup of Millet Flour
A Mockmill 100 with two 4 cup glass measuring cups in front of it. One measuring cup has organic oats in it. The other has freshly milled oat flour in it. In the background is a gray subway tile backsplash.
3 Cups of Oat Flour
four small glass bowls sitting on a black glass stovetop. Each bowl is filled with a spice for gluten free holiday pumpkin bread.
3 tsp Ground Cinnamon, 2 tsp of Ground Nutmeg, 1 tsp Ground Ginger, & 1 tsp Ground Cloves

Stir all the dry ingredients together until there are no clumps and the spices are evenly distributed. Then, pour the maple spice pumpkin bread batter into the bowl of dry ingredients.

Gently fold the wet and dry ingredients together. Batter should easily pour out of pans. If batter is too thick and looks dry, add 1/3 cup more water with a 1/4 cup more oil until batter. The amount of rainfall on grain crops affects moisture content of each grain. Thus, some years, more water and oil is needed to add moisture to bread recipes.

Prepare Loaf Pans

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Pour the gluten and diary free maple spice pumpkin bread batter into the prepared lined loaf pans until they are approximately three-fourths full.

Gluten free pumpkin bread batter distributed into two loaf pans and one mini loaf pan. They are sitting on the black cooktop.

Bake for 45 minutes at 350 degrees. When done, the top of the loaves look golden brown and pulled away from the edge of the pan. Insert a knife into the middle of the loaf. If the knife comes out clean with no batter, it is done.

Allow the loaves to cool in the pans for about 5 minutes on a cooling rack. Then, remove loaf from each pan. Keep parchment paper on all loaves of maple spice pumpkin bread. Lay the bottom of the bread that has the parchment paper on a cooling rack to cool for about an hour. The parchment paper keeps the loaf of bread from sticking to the cooling rack and holds in moisture. I like to leave the paper on until I am ready to cut that loaf. Make sure loaves are completely cool before storing.

A Note on the Flours for Gluten Free Pumpkin Bread

It took a lot of trial and error to find the right measurements for each of the flours in this gluten free pumpkin bread recipe. This combination creates a loaf with an enjoyable texture, structure, and flavor. It also removes the need for a gluten free all-purpose flour. Which if there is a nut allergy in your home can pose a bit of a challenge because of the popularity of almond flour. My homemade flour combination is safe for homes with nut allergies.

Kitchen Equipment

A Mixer – Investing in a good mixer is 100% worth the cost if you bake for your family often. I love the kitchen aid mixer because of all of its different attachments. However, a hand mixer will get the job done too. It just may take a bit longer when mixing to achieve the same results.

A Grain Mill – If you are new to the world of baking investing in a grain mill may sound like a bit much, but it has the potential to save you money and allow you to use more or new grains. Yes, you can find most flours at specialty grocery stores, but they are not in the same price range as the all-purpose flour in the baking section at Walmart. If you are committed to a gluten free lifestyle due to an allergy or personal choice, a grain mill is worth the investment. Here are two mills that my daughter and I have purchased and loved.

The WonderMill

I have used the WonderMill for well over 10 years. It is able to mill multiple types of grain and produces a nice fine flour. Unfortunately, I had to buy a coffee mill to make the millet flour.

The Mockmill 100

My daughter invested in a Mockmill when she moved out of our house and she loves it. It is a bit more expensive than the WonderMill, but can do more and is easier to store. Best of all, it turns millet into flour.
