Equipment

Ingredients

2 ¼ cups (270g) gluten free all purpose flour I recommend King Arthur’s Gluten Free All Purpose Flour
1 ½ tsp baking powder
1 ½ tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
2 ½ tsp cinnamon
½ tsp nutmeg
¼ tsp ginger
15 oz (425g) can pumpkin 100% pure pumpkin puree
1 cup (198g) granulated sugar
½ cup (107g) brown sugar packed
½ cup (118ml) vegetable oil
2 eggs large

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger. Stir and set aside.
2 1/4 cups (270g) gluten free all purpose flour, 1 1/2 tsp baking powder, 1 1/2 tsp baking soda, 1 tsp salt, 2 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp nutmeg, 1/4 tsp ginger
In a larger bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil and eggs. Stir to combine with a spatula or mixer on low for 30 seconds.
15 oz (425g) can pumpkin, 1 cup (198g) granulated sugar, 1/2 cup (107g) brown sugar, 1/2 cup (118ml) vegetable oil, 2 eggs
Gradually mix in the dry ingredients, mixing by hand or with a mixer on low just until combined. The batter will be very thick!
Spray a loaf pan (either 9×5 or 8.5×4.5) with non-stick cooking spray. Transfer the batter to the pan and spread even with a spatula.
Place in the center of the oven and bake for 55-75 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. The total suggested bake time for a 8.5×4.5 inch pan is 65-75 minutes and 9×5 inch pan is 50-65 minutes.

Notes

Know what size loaf pan you have. There’s two popular loaf pan sizes – 9×5 and 8.5×4.5. Even though the numbers are similar, the pans actually differ in size by 15%. The 8.5×4.5 pan will yield a tall, more domed bread and will take 5-10 minutes longer when baking. The total suggested bake time for a 8.5×4.5 inch pan is 55-65 minutes and 9×5 inch pan is 45-60 minutes.
