How to Make Gluten Free Pumpkin Banana Bread

This gluten free pumpkin bread couldn’t be simpler to make. At the core of all of our gluten free baking is King Arthur Gluten Free Baking Mix. This stuff is the best. We’ve never gotten a complaint from anyone, and people are shocked to learn it is gluten free!

First, mix the wet ingredients. Start by mixing the banana and pumpkin.

This is a great bread to throw in the bowl of a stand mixer, use a hand mixer, or just mix with a good old fashioned whisk and spatula. Whichever way you choose, it will come out great.

Add the eggs, sugar, and oil, and make sure to combine well. That oil can be tricky sometimes!

Then combine the King Arthur Gluten Free Baking Mix, baking soda, and cinnamon in a small bowl, then gradually add to your wet mixture.

After that has been well combined, you have a major decision point.

To chocolate or not to chocolate?

Chocolate pieces really give this recipe something special. If you aren’t a fan, don’t worry, you can leave them out.

Did you know there a ton of allergy friendly chocolate options out there? We really like Pascha and Enjoy Life.

By the way, this recipe is also naturally dairy free, because we use coconut oil.

As a rule of thumb, you can pretty much swap butter in any form for coconut oil in baking. Some recipes have special considerations for the swap, but not a pumpkin banana bread like this.

Remember, you’ll never find any dairy or gluten in our recipes here, which brings me to my next point.

How to Make Vegan Gluten Free Pumpkin Banana Bread

You can easily make this gluten free pumpkin banana bread vegan by swapping out the eggs for your favorite vegan egg substitute.

When it comes to baking things like this, I prefer either applesauce or mashed sweet potato. Just use 1/4 cup of either per egg, so you would need a total of 1/2 cup of apple sauce or mashed sweet potato for this recipe.

Can I make Gluten Free Pumpkin Banana Muffins?

Of course! This recipe is great for muffins as well! Depending on if you make mini muffins, standard muffins, or large muffins, your cooking time will vary. Start with 20 minutes for mini muffins, 25 for standard muffins, and 30 for large muffins.

Be sure to cook until a toothpick comes out of the center clean!

You may also want to try mini loafs.

Notes

If we're baking a vegan bread like this, we like to use either sweet potato or apple sauce as a egg substitute. Use 1/4 cup of applesauce or sweet potato per egg. Breads like this are very forgiving no matter how you would like to replace the egg.

We love chcolate chips in our banana bread, so we added them to our gluten free pumpkin banana bread! If you aren't a fan of chcolate, feel free to leave them out.

This bread is great served warm out of the oven, toasted, or room temperature.
