How To Make My Ultimate Bakery-Style Pumpkin Bread

Step 1. Preheat oven and spray a standard 9×5 inch loaf pan with nonstick baking spray and line with a parchment paper sling.  

Step 2. In the bowl of a stand mixer, or using a large bowl and whisk, briefly whisk together all dry ingredients.

Step 3. Add to the bowl the pumpkin, coconut oil, and coconut sugar and mix to combine so there are no flour streaks visible.

Step 4. Add the eggs and whisk for 10 seconds more to combine.

Step 5. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and smooth the top. Using a sharp knife, make a 1 inch slit down the length of the bread. 

Step 6. Sprinkle the top with demerara sugar, if desired.

Step 7. Bake for 55-60 minutes until a tester comes out clean.

Step 8. Cool for 10 minutes in the pan before transferring to a rack to cool completely.

Step 9. Enjoy!

What Else Can I Use?

  • Don’t have coconut sugar? Use brown sugar, or a combination of brown and white instead
  • The Demerara sugar (otherwise known as cane sugar) is optional, but adds that quintessential, crystalized bakery-style crunchy top
  • Use regular all purpose flour instead of gluten free if desired
  • If you have Pumpkin Pie Spice on hand you can replace the ginger, cinnamon, and nutmeg with about 2 teaspoons of that
  • Neutral Oils include vegetable, light olive oil, sunflower oil, canola, and the like. Use any you have.

This Ultimate Bakery-Style Pumpkin Bread is special because:

You get that delicious, melt in your mouth, bakery-style loaf without having to leave your house

The loaf freezes well, perfect for pulling out for unexpected guests

It’s the perfect after school snack because it is gluten free, dairy free and refined sugar free (if you choose to make it this way), great for any variety of dietary requirements

It stays moist and tender for up to 4 days

One-Bowl Pumpkin Banana Bundt Cake

One-Bowl Pumpkin Banana Bundt Cake

This cake will also go down in my mind as the Quarantine Pumpkin Cake.  Why?  

Remember back in the beginning of the pandemic when everyone was making banana bread?  Well I do, and maybe that’s because I never really stopped.  

This cake is a combination of my favorite two quick breads, banana and pumpkin, in bundt form.  It’s perfectly moist and tender and makes as good of a snack as it does a breakfast or brunch.  

This makes a delicious dessert with a dusting of powdered sugar or a simple glaze.  I left it off as I truly wanted this to be a blank canvas that you can eat any time of day.

Oh, and did I mention it’s gluten free, dairy free, and refined sugar free?

pumpkin banana bundt cake

“What else can I use?”

Feel free to use all purpose flour for entire 2 3/4 cups of flour if you are good with gluten.  If using gluten free flour, I like to use Cup 4 Cup or Bob’s Red Mill GF blends as they are very comparable to all purpose.

You want a light, neutral tasting olive oil for this.  If you don’t have that, feel free to use canola oil instead.

If you don’t have coconut sugar, you can substitute brown sugar or granulated sugar.
