For the bread
- 1 1/2 cups pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup 1 stick melted butter or plant based butter
- 1 cup light brown sugar packed (or coconut sugar)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 3/4 cup 1:1 gluten free flour with xanthum gum
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
For the cinnamon swirl
- 3 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar or coconut sugar
For the salted maple butter (optional)
- 1/2 cup 1 stick unsalted butter or vegan butter
- 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt or sea salt
Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a loaf pan with cooking spray.
Whisk the together the pumpkin puree, melted butter, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla in a large bowl. Add the gluten free flour, bakingpowder, bakingsoda, pumpkin pie spice and salt, mix until just combined.
Mix together the cinnamon swirl ingredients in a small bowl.
Spoon half the pumpkin batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle it with the cinnamon sugar, reserving 2 tablespoons of sugar for topping the loaf. Add the remaining batter over the sugar. Run a knife down the center of the loaf 1-2 times to gently swirl the sugar. Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon sugar over top of the batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Begin checking it at 50 minutes and tent the bread with foil if the top is starting to look too brown.
Remove from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes then remove it from the pan and finish cooling on a wire rack.
While it's cooling, whip together the butter, syrup and salt, if using. Serve the bread warm with the salted maple butter.
