Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup of richly packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup of softened butter
  • 1 cup of flavorful canned pumpkin
  • 2 eggs for richness
  • 1/2 cup of creamy low-fat buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup of luscious maple syrup
  • 2 cups of versatile gluten-free all-purpose flour (like Better Batter®)
  • 2 teaspoons of aromatic baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon of warm ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon of fragrant ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda for lift
  • 1/4 teaspoon of ground cloves for depth
  • 1/2 cup of plump raisins

Step 1

Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and generously greasing a 9x5x3-inch loaf pan to prepare it for the delicious creation ahead.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the rich brown sugar with creamy butter until they form a smooth mixture. Then, introduce the star of the show - pumpkin, along with eggs, tangy buttermilk, and a touch of sweet maple syrup. Blend these ingredients well until they create a harmonious symphony of flavors.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, combine flour with a hint of baking powder, a pinch of salt, warm cinnamon, fragrant nutmeg, a touch of baking soda, and a sprinkle of cloves. Mix these dry ingredients thoroughly before gently incorporating them into the pumpkin mixture, creating a luscious batter.

Step 4

For an extra burst of sweetness, fold in plump raisins into the batter, adding a delightful texture and flavor. Carefully pour this aromatic mixture into the prepared loaf pan, ready to be transformed into a golden loaf of goodness.

Step 5

Allow your creation to bake in the preheated oven, enveloping your kitchen in a warm, comforting aroma. After 55 to 60 minutes, check the loaf's readiness by inserting a toothpick into the center - it should come out clean when it's perfectly baked.

Step 6

Once baked to perfection, let the loaf rest in the pan for 10 minutes to settle before gently transferring it to a wire rack for complete cooling. This step ensures a moist and delectable pumpkin bread ready to be enjoyed with a cup of tea or coffee.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Utilize airtight containers to store your gluten-free pumpkin raisin bread. This will help maintain its freshness and prevent it from drying out.
  3. 2. Consider storing your bread in a cool, dark pantry to keep it away from direct sunlight and heat, which can cause it to spoil or become stale quickly.
