TO MAKE GLUTEN FREE PUMPKIN BREAD YOU WILL NEED:
In all of my recipes I measure just about everything in grams. It is way more accurate and you will need a kitchen scale to make this recipe. Here’s the link to the scale that I use. There are many others available that are just as good and for a cheaper price. I have used my own gluten free flour blend in this recipe.
Gluten Free flours – brown rice flour, oat flour, almond flour, sorghum flour and tapioca starch
Pumpkin Puree, olive oil, butter, brown sugar and white sugar, eggs and spices.
Whole psyllium husk, and not the powder.
If you cannot tolerate oat flour, make sure to substitute it with quinoa flour.
STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Preparing the Batter
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugars, pumpkin puree, oil, vanilla and salt
In a medium bowl sift the flour blend, baking soda and baking powder.
Combine the eggs and the psyllium husk to form a light gel.
2. Mixing the Batter
Combine the sugars, pumpkin, butter, olive oil, and vanilla in a large bowl. In a small bowl beat the eggs and the psyllium husk together. Immediately mix the psyllium and eggs to prevent the psyllium forming into hard clumps.
Add the flour blend into the wet ingredients, a third at a time.
Pour the batter into a loaf pan lined with parchment paper, smooth the top and bake.
3.Making the Icing
Once the bread has mostly cooled, then it’s time to make the icing. Grab a medium sized mixing bowl, add the softened butter, cream cheese and yoghurt. Beat until them all together, until the mixture is a smooth and creamy consistency. Next, gradually add the powdered sugar and beat until well incorporated.
Evenly spread the icing on the cooled pumpkin bread, sprinkle with chopped nuts … if using and enjoy!
