Ingredients
The full recipe for this gluten free pumpkin bread can be found in the recipe card below, but here's an overview of the ingredients you'll need:
- buckwheat flour - since this is buckwheat pumpkin bread. I like using Anthony's buckwheat flour, as it's lighter in color and has a more mild flavor than darker colored buckwheat flour
- tapioca starch - needed for texture purposes. You can swap tapioca starch for arrowroot or potato starch.
- baking powder - so that the loaf rises. I like to make my own paleo baking powder, but any will do.
- cinnamon - for flavor
- salt - brings out more flavor
- pumpkin puree - I like using organic canned pumpkin puree for this recipe, but you can puree your own pumpkin too
- eggs - to give the loaf structure
- maple syrup - to sweeten the loaf
- avocado oil - gives the loaf a soft, tender texture. Olive oil will work as a swap.
- vanilla extract - for flavor
