Today, we're getting our pumpkin spice fix with mini gluten free pumpkin breads.

They are simple to prepare, with ingredients you likely already have in the pantry. And, you will only need one mixing bowl and a whisk.

Now, I chose a mini version, but you could also bake one large pumpkin bread. And, as the classic fall flavors of cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg waft through your house...you'll thank me, even before you have a taste!

Most quick breads or pound cakes are often filled with cups of sugar. These moist beauties use applesauce and only a little sugar for sweetness. Plus, they are made with mostly oat flour! A slice at Starbucks will set you back 400 calories and 38 grams of sugar! Not these! My pumpkin bread is even better and no one will guess it's gluten free!

They are perfect as a heathy breakfast or brunch or a sweet treat for dessert! Bring some to share at your next potluck! Or they even make a pretty, homemade hostess gift!

These mini pumpkin breads are delish as is, but you could also slice, heat, and add a pat of butter. Butter always makes everything just a little bit better!

Can I use canned pumpkin pie filling in this gluten free pumpkin bread?

No, for this recipe use canned pumpkin puree. Pumpkin pie filling is already sweetened and seasoned with spices. This way we can control the sugar, spices, and overall flavor of the dish!

What is the best baking pan for pumpkin bread?

Some may say a classic large loaf pan is the best. For me, I bought a mini loaf pan with 8 wells a few years ago- and I love it! Cute, small cake portions, less baking time. Truly, any size loaf pan will work. A large loaf pan will take longer to bake. You could even use a muffin pan.
