Fluffy Pumpkin Spice Bread (with GF/DF Options!)
Hooray for Pumpkin Spice Season!
So it’s FINALLY September, which means we’re THAT much closer to Fall!! I recently made this super moist Pumpkin Spice Bread and OH MY, I had to run and put it up on the blog for you to try! So so so good!!
We made this recipe twice this past week, and each time, it’s been devoured in a matter of hours! PLUS, we tested these with gluten-free and dairy-free alternatives– and each one came out equally delicious!
This Pumpkin Spice Bread is incredibly moist, fluffy, loaded with that fall pumpkin flavor, and uses just the perfect blend of warming spices! Eat a slice for breakfast, as a snack, and even for dessert! Can be made gluten-free and dairy-free.

How to Make Fluffy Pumpkin Spice Bread
- Preheat the oven to 325°F. Grease an 8 x 4-inch loaf pan with butter or coconut oil, or line with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, add the flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Whisk until combined.
- In a large bowl, add the butter and sugar and beat until blended (you can do it manually or use an electric mixer on medium speed). Then add in the egg and pumpkin puree and beat until light and fluffy.
- Add the dry mixture into the wet and mix until combined. Fold in any additional toppings (ex: chocolate chips, chopped nuts, etc.)
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool, then slice into 12 pieces. ENJOY!
Can I Freeze This Pumpkin Spice Bread?
Absolutely! Feel free to make this recipe ahead of time and freeze for up to 4 months. I like to double the recipe and freeze one to eat later! After the loaves are completely cooled, wrap it tightly in aluminum foil, or in a large freezer-safe bag. When you’re ready to eat, just let the bread thaw overnight in the refrigerator, then serve!
