    Best Almond Flour Pumpkin Bread (with a whole can of pumpkin!)

    Published Sep 6, 2023 · Modified Sep 6, 2023 · by Alexis Joseph · 123 Comments

    Truly the best Almond Flour Pumpkin Bread on the internet! This super tender, perfectly spiced loaf has become a Hummusapien community favorite. It uses a whole can of pumpkin, comes together in minutes, is gluten free and freezer-friendly. Sure to become your family's go-to autumn bake!

    HOLY MOLY it's pumpkin season and I'm jumping out of my seat over it.

    The same thing happens every year. I'm so into summer and then as quickly as I fell for the warm weather and watermelon, I'm done and ready for crisp temps and caramel apples. Who relates?

    My Banana Bread with almond flour and Almond Flour Chocolate Banana Bread are some of my most-loved recipes these days, so I knew I had to smush that with my Healthy Pumpkin Bars to make a pumpkin version!

    Ingredients

    • Almond flour: This is what makes the bread so fluffy--it's essential for moistness since it's high in fat. It also adds natural sweetness. Look for super fine blanched kind, not almond meal (which has the skins). I get Kirkland brand at Costco. Really pack it in there (I use my kitchen scale).
    • Oat flour: Another favorite gluten free flour of mine, I love the flavor it adds. Be sure to use certified gluten-free if you have a gluten intolerance. You can also make your own by grinding old-fashioned oats in the Nutribullet or food processor.
    • Pumpkin puree: Make sure the ingredients are just 100% pumpkin and nothing else added. We're using an entire 15oz can, which makes this bread super moist and reduces the need for extra oil. My goal was to use an entire can of pumpkin because let's be honest...how often do you actually use those sad few spoonfuls that you're left with?
    • Maple syrup: This bread is lightly sweetened with my favorite natural liquid sweetener. I also tested this with honey and it works great.
    • Eggs: To bind everything together and contribute to rising. I've made this recipe with flax eggs which work well for a vegan option.
    • Coconut oil: You can also use avocado or vegetable oil for moisture and richness. We're only using 2 tbsp since there's so much pumpkin!
    • Vanilla extract: To enhance the chocolate flavor ever more.
    • Spices: A full tablespoon (I know!!) of cinnamon plus some nutmeg, cloves, and ginger for that classic pumpkin bread flavor.
    • Chocolate chips: I love the pairing of pumpkin and chocolate! If you don't love chocolate chips, I'd increase the maple syrup to ⅔ cup so the bread is sweet enough.

    How to make (step by step)

    1. Mix the dry: almond flour, spices, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
    2. Add the wet: pumpkin, maple syrup, eggs, oil and vanilla. Stir in chocolate chips.
    3. Bake for 50 minutes. Let it cool, slice and devour!

    What makes it healthy?

    This Registered Dietitian is here to say this quick bread is packed with nutrition, my pumpkin pals.

    • Loaded with healthy fats from the almond flour to keep you satiated
    • Packed with energizing B vitamins from whole grain oat flour
    • Boasts a whopping 6.5 g protein and nearly 4 g fiber per slice to promote satiety and regulate blood sugar
    • In addition to being an excellent source of fiber and vitamin A, pumpkin is also packed with antioxidants that help neutralize free radicals in the body and delay onset of disease

    Tips for success

    • Don't substitute the flour: Gluten free baking is finicky. I have only tested this recipe with the combination of almond at oat flour listed below, so I do not recommend straying from that as I can't vouch for the results. I would guess a 1:1 all-purpose gluten free baking flour may work in place of the oat flour, but I can't say for sure. Do not use coconut flour or wheat flour; the bread will not turn out!
    • Use pumpkin puree: Be sure not to use pumpkin pie mix here!
    • Have fun with add ins: Dried cranberries, chopped walnuts, and pecans would all be delish in here. If you forgo the chocolate chips, I'd consider increasing the maple syrup to ⅔ cup.

    Can I make this vegan?

    Yes! Flax eggs will work here, but the bread may not be as tall.

    How to store

    The best place to store this pumpkin bread is on the countertop in an air-tight container for up to 3 days. It stays moist for a surprisingly long time!

    If you still have some left, you can store in the fridge for up to a week or more and it will stay moist.

    Can I freeze pumpkin bread?

    Yes! Simply wrap the loaf tightly in foil then in a plastic bag with the air squeezed out. It will stay fresh for up to four months. You can thaw it on the counter when you’re ready to eat.

    Description

    Truly the best Almond Flour Pumpkin Bread on the internet! This super tender, perfectly spiced loaf has become a Hummusapien community favorite. It uses a whole can of pumpkin, comes together in minutes, is gluten free and freezer-friendly. Sure to become your family's go-to autumn bake! Also great topped with my Cream Cheese Frosting. 


    Ingredients

    Units Scale
    • 1 ¼ cups super fine blanched almond flour, packed (163g)
    • 1 ¼ cup certified GF oat flour* (124g)
    • 1 tbsp cinnamon
    • ½ tsp ground ginger
    • ½ tsp ground cloves
    • ¼ tsp nutmeg
    • 1 tsp baking soda
    • ½ tsp baking powder
    • ½ tsp fine sea salt
    • 1 15oz can pumpkin puree
    • 2 large eggs (or 2 flax eggs for vegan)
    • ½ cup pure maple syrup
    • 2 tbsp avocado oil or melted coconut oil
    • 1 tsp vanilla extract
    • ½ cup chocolate chips, plus more for topping

    Instructions

    1. Preheat oven to 350F. Grease a 9x5 in loaf pan.
    2. Place almond flour, oat flour, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, nutmeg, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Whisk to combine.
    3. Place pumpkin, eggs, maple syrup, oil and vanilla in a medium mixing bowl. Whisk until smooth.
    4. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
    5. Spoon mixture into loaf pan. Top with additional chocolate chips. Bake for about 50 minutes, or until a knife comes out almost clean. Allow bread to cool in pan for at least 30 minutes before carefully removing and transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

    Notes

    *TO MAKE OAT FLOUR: If you don’t have store bought, make your own by grinding the old fashioned oats in the blender until it resembles a very fine flour. The finer it is, the fluffier the consistency!

    FLOUR NOTE: This recipe will not turn out with other flours like all purpose or coconut flour. Like all gluten free flours, almond and oat flour have unique properties and are not 1-to-1 substitutes for other flours. Try my Pumpkin Gingerbread or Pumpkin Muffins if you'd like a recipe with all purpose/wheat flour.

    TO MAKE VEGAN: Use two flax eggs. (Combine 2 tbsp ground flax with 6 tbsp warm water in a small bowl. Set aside to gel for 5 minutes.) The bread is slightly more fluffy with eggs versus flax.

      I have made this bread about 10 times this fall/winter. It’s DELICIOUS. I leave out the syrup and replace with water instead—and it’s still moist and sweet enough for me. Highly recommend. Also, incredibly easy to make!

      Here to give this one another 5 stars... is that allowed?! well, it's tried and true, my go-to, #1 favorite pumpkin bread recipe. IT USES THE WHOLE CAN OF PUMPKIN PEOPLE. need I say more?! Nothing worse than those random 1/3 cup leftovers. I mean i make them into something usually, but just saying this bread is where it's at.
      I'm weird and don't like chocolate with my pumpkin so I added walnuts.
      Highly recommend warm with butter, a drizzle of honey, and sprinkle of cinnamon.

        You can either pack it or measure it for more accuracy! If I weigh it, I just do it in a bowl. No need to put it in the measuring cup if you've weighed it. Does that make sense?

      Oh-my-yum! I just tried this recipe today & I'm thrilled. I am new to having to go gluten-free & after some prior not so great attempts with GF baking, this is the 1st recipe that I will definitely make again. Even my husband who does not have to eat gluten-free loved them every bit as much as I did. I had a large can of pumpkin on hand so I doubled the recipe & made both the loaf bread, as well as muffins with the remaining mixture. My only exchange was I left out the chocolate chips & added walnuts. I increased the maple syrup as you suggested & it was just the perfect amount of sweetness. The only problem I ran into was my baking time on the loaf took significantly longer but still turned out well with more baking time, (muffins were done separately & timing was just as indicated). So glad I can still have some yummy treats without having to risk my health! Thanks for this great recipe!

        Amazing! I'm thrilled you loved this one. I have tons of gluten free baked goods on the site, so you'll have to keep exploring! I bet the increase in maple made it take longer to bake, but I'm glad it still turned out delish! This cherry orange bread and double chocolate banana bread are also stellar!

      I’m not sure what to rate this. It’s definitely very flavorful and I have friends who have made this and it has been great. But.I doubled the recipe, which calls for 2-30 oz cans. What it SHOULD be is 2-15oz or 1-30oz.
      I’m so disappointed at the waste of costly ingredients 😩

        December 07, 2020 at 4:16 pm

        Hey, Autumn! If you're doubling the recipe, it would be 2 cans of pumpkin, each 15oz. If you used 2 30oz cans, thats 4x the pumpkin. I'm so sorry that the doubling feature of the recipe plugin incorrectly stated that--I see that when you click 2x it adjusts it to 2-30oz. I'll reach out to them and let them know about that glitch!

      This recipe is so yummy and moist. Waiting to cut the loaf until it’s cool is very important. I was too excited and sliced off a “piece” while hot and it completely crumbled apart but day 2 was perfect! I actually made this a second time as cookies - plopping the batter into little mounds on a cookie sheet and baking for 16mn. They turned out great and I loved the convenience of the easy to grab cookie format for sharing.

      I left out the chocolate chips, and replaced 1/2 cup maple syrup with 1/4 cup maple syrup and 1/4 cup nut milk (in this case, hazelnut milk). I also doubled the spices by adding about 1.3 Tablespoons of Pumpkin Spice. It came out phenomenal!!! You would never guess this is gluten free and made with such great ingredients.

      Just finished eating two slices of this amazing bread! I followed the recipe as written and it is by far the best pumpkin bread I have ever had! Already planning on making another loaf this week 🙂

      I’ve tried countless healthy pumpkin bread recipes throughout the years, and this is my favorite one so far! Even my husband went crazy for this bread (he’s usually a little harder to please when it comes to GF recipes). I’ve made this recipe twice so far, once with chocolate chips and once without. Both are delicious, but I actually preferred it without the chocolate! You have to try this recipe! 🎃

      Such an easy recipe, one I'll be making many times this fall! The almond flour/oat flour blend makes for the perfect, moist crumb. Subtly sweet, and I love that this recipe uses an entire can of pumpkin. I made this into bars in a 9x9 pan and they came out perfect. Had to bake for around 35 mins, just kept an eye on them after 25 mins.

      Hey :D! This bread has amazing flavor...thank you! But I need a little help. I baked mine in a 10"x5" (interior dimensions) heavy, dark metal loaf pan lined with parchment for 50 min and knife came out nearly clean. My loaf didn't rise as much as yours, and it is a little overly moist. I eat a no-oil, plant-based vegan diet so I made a few changes to the recipe: I used 2 flax eggs instead of eggs, I used 2 TBSP unsweetened applesauce in place of the oil, and I left out the chocolate chips, increasing the maple syrup to ⅔ cup as you suggested. I added ½ cup chopped pecans (yum!). What do you suggest I do next time? Switch to a smaller glass loaf pan (I have an 8.5" x 4.5" interior dimensions)? Bake as muffins? Decrease the liquid maple syrup back to ½ cup (or less?) and add in a dry form sugar (date, coconut, or dried maple sugar)? Or just increase the baking time? Thank you so much!!! It's very yummy, but I just need to tweak it so it is not so moist and I can get more rise and fluff in there. 🙂

        Hi there! I have only baked this in a loaf pan so I'm not sure how the baking time would change, but ya, sounds like you should cook it longer 🙂 Did you really pack the almond flour in there? Not sure if the applesauce made it more moist versus oil? Dry sweetener instead of increased maple could be a safe bet. Let me know how it works!

      Wish I could give this recipe 1,000 stars for how insanely good it is!!! Seriously the best and LOVE that it uses a whole can of pumpkin! I made it with eggs, avocado oil; omitted the choc chips for the first batch but will definitely be making this again with choc chips (and my husband will just have to suck it up haha). First fall recipe I made this yr and will be repeating for sure! Thank youuu for always coming up with such magic!

      Hi Alexis - In Australia coeliacs are warned not to consume oats. Usually it says they are safe if they're not grown with wheat,rye, barley - but this is not correct. This is from - https://www.coeliac.org.au/uploads/65701/ufiles/Position_Statements/CAPSOats.pdf
      Evidence shows that uncontaminated oats are well tolerated by most people with coeliac disease. However, in some people with coeliac disease, oat consumption can trigger a potentially harmful immune response. Please note that the absence of symptoms when consuming oats does not necessarily indicate they are safe – bowel damage can still occur despite the absence of symptoms.
      It is recommended that individuals who wish to consume oats as part of their gluten free diet do so under medical supervision to ensure appropriate review and safety. Undertaking a gastroscopy and small bowel biopsy before and after 3 months of regular uncontaminated oat consumption can help guide whether an individual with coeliac disease can safely consume oats.

        Hey Anne! Thanks for the note here. Yep, I have a lot of clients and friends with celiac, and everyone should definitely do what's best for them. Since regular oats run the risk of gluten contamination, it's advised to use certified gluten free oats, which are safe for consumption in those with Celiac.

        If you use all purpose flour is it the same measurements?

          September 23, 2020 at 2:17 pm

          Hey Chloe! All purpose flour cannot be used in this recipe as it has very different properties from almond and oat flour. You can use all purpose flour in these Fluffy Pumpkin Muffins or Pumpkin Gingerbread, or any recipe that calls for whole wheat flour. Gluten-free flours like almond, oat, coconut, buckwheat, etc are a whole different ball game and cannot be subbed in and out.

          I typically include a section called "Recipe tips and substitutions" where I discuss flour options and clarify what can and cannot be used. Hope that helps!

      This recipe is delicious and so easy! I love that it uses an entire can of pumpkin because I never know what to do with that awkward amount left after most recipes! I also like that this is only sweetened with maple syrup... it's the perfect amount of sweet for me. I've never been a fan of chocolate with pumpkin (I'm learning that I may be in the minority on that...) so I added walnuts and made these into extra-large muffins. I can tell it's going to be a great week with these on hand!

        Love it! If you DO find yourself with leftover pumpkin, I just freeze it in blobs on a lined plate then keep it in a baggie. I microwave it when I need a random amount for a recipe! So glad you loved them with walnuts. Enjoy!

          This recipe won’t work with just almond flour as it was formulated specifically with the almond + oat combo. I would stick to the recipe for guaranteed good results!

      I made this exactly as written (used oats I whizzed in a Kitchen Aid mixer), except for adding more chocolate chips. I baked half the recipe as muffins and half as a mini loaf. I sprinkled some cinnamon sugar over the top for crunch and would definitely repeat that choice. They turned out so delicious—I loved the soft, chewy texture and the spice mixture. Will be making these again!

      I made this bread into muffins and my-oh-my are they delicious. So moist, flavourful. I substituted the chocolate chips with raisins and pecans, because I love raisins and nuts in muffins. Huge hit with the family too. I've added canned pumpkin to my grocery list because I know I will be making them again soon - the first batch is almost gone!
