Gluten-Free Pumpkin Bread

You know it’s officially fall when it’s time to make pumpkin bread! I’ve made many different gluten-free loaves on my blog, from spiced chai to zucchini bread and, of course, banana bread. I love a good gluten-free loaf of bread and think all of these are great to eat any time of year! But, in my opinion, pumpkin bread is reserved for autumn. Growing up, pumpkin bread marked the change of seasons from summer to autumn. It’s how my brother and I knew that Halloween was right around the corner. Now, I have a similar mindset and reserve this tasty bread for only a few months of the year. There’s always something special about biting into that first piece of pumpkin bread of the season. And this years’ loaf did not disappoint!
