Gluten Free Pumpkin Bread
1 - Crack 3 eggs in a medium-size bowl, and break them up using a metal whisk until nice and smooth.
Tip: We store our ingredients in these mixing bowls and mini glass bowls from Duralex while cooking. We love Duralex for their quality products and low prices!
2 - Add the xylitol and pumpkin puree to the beaten eggs and whisk until well combined.
3 - Microwave the butter for 1 minute. Then, pour it into the wet mixture and whisk to fully incorporate.
4 - Whisk in the maple syrup and vanilla extract before setting aside.
5 - In a large mixing bowl, add all the remaining dry ingredients and whisk together with a silicone whisk.
6 - Add the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients and gently mix together with a silicone spatula to form a thick, well-combined batter.
7 - Preheat your oven to 350℉ (175°C).
8 - Line a loaf pan with a sheet of parchment paper.
Tip: Le Creuset is one of the best brands money can buy. Here, we used this fantastic ceramic loaf pan from Le Creuset and are very happy with it! For more recommended bakeware and cookware, check out our article: "The Best Non-Toxic Pots & Pans: Our Must-Have Cookware List".
9 - Fill the loaf pan with the batter and spread evenly using a spatula.
10 - Bake the pumpkin bread in your preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
