Ingredients

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

Instructions

  • 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.
