The best Gluten Free Vegan Pumpkin Bread. This Fall favorite loaf is soft, springy and super moist. Made with pumpkin spice and lots of pumpkin flavor! Pair with a cup of coffee for a real treat.
It’s pumpkin season, it’s pumpkin season, it’s PUMPKIN SEASON! Are you as excited as I am to make all the #pumpkin recipes?! I asked you a couple weeks ago what pumpkin recipes you’d like me to share with you this Fall and got some great ideas and inspiration. I recently went grocery shopping and my kitchen is full of organic pumpkin puree and frozen pumpkin! I’m thinking pumpkin Alfredo, pumpkin curry, pumpkin cornbread, chocolate chip pumpkin cookies… is there anything pumpkin doesn’t taste good in?
BUT first, I thought it would be fun to start off with a classic – Gluten Free Vegan Pumpkin Bread – made with simple ingredients and without any oil or nuts so my mom can even enjoy some even with her nut allergy.
The tapioca starch and oat flour combo make this Gluten Free Vegan Pumpkin Bread super light and fluffy. If you don’t currently have any tapioca starch on hand, I would recommend picking some up – it’s a great staple to have around for cooking and baking.
The mix of molasses, cane sugar, maple syrup, and lots of pumpkin spice makes this Gluten Free Vegan Pumpkin Bread super moist and full of rich, deep, Fall flavours.
And of course, let’s not forget the s-t-a-r ingredient… PUMPKIN. I use organic pumpkin puree in this Gluten Free Vegan Pumpkin Bread and it really does make a huge difference in the final flavor. I order mine online to save time and money.

What can you use instead of tapioca starch?
Hi! My dad made this and we love it! So moist! I’d like to turn it into cake pops for my daughter’s birthday. Is there any way to do that where we wouldn’t end up with “crust”? Thanks!
Any substitute for the apple cider vinegar? I am allergic to vinegar.
Looks so very yummy! Thanks for sharing.
If I were to reduce the sugar content, would I simply just add less, or do you think this could affect the structure of the cake aswell?
Thank you
