    I have the yummiest Pumpkin Bread Recipe ever and was wondering how to convert it to Gluten/Sugar Free....

    3c sugar
    1 cup vegetable oil
    4 eggs
    3c Flour
    1.5 tsp salt
    1 tsp cinnamon
    1 tsp nutmeg
    2 tsp baking soda
    1 tsp baking powder
    2/3 cup of water
    2 c cooked mashed pumpkin or canned pumpkin
    1 c chopped nuts or seeds.

    Mix sugar and oil beat in eggs one at a time
    Mix Flour spices and salt in a separate bowl
    Add dry to wet alternating with water, mixing well in between additions
    Add Pumpkin, stir well
    Stir in nuts

    Pour into 2 greased and floured 9x5x13 loaf pans
    Bake at 350 for 1 hour.... actually takes more like 1.5 hours.
    eggs and wet separate. Add Dry to wet

    I usually double the spices and nuts/seeds.

    Everyone just raves about this bread and I would love to know how to make a healthier Gluten and Sugar free version.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks so much,

    Leslie

    Leslie,

    I've had success substituting almond flour 1:1 for white flour. Or, if you'd like, try about 3 parts almond flour and 1 part sifted coconut flour for the white flour.

    As for the sugar, it depends on your preferences. I use erythritol and stevia almost exclusively due to a health issue. For every cup of sugar, I would use 2/3 cup erythritol and 1/4 tsp good quality stevia (NuNaturals is my favorite).

    I would recommend making half a batch (or even 1/4) to make sure you like the results and cooking it in mini loaf pans or muffin tins to help with even baking.

    Hi Bonnie,

    Thanks so much!

    That looks like a good place for me to start, however I can't use any of the sugar alcohols so the erythritol won't work for me.

    Does anyone have any ideas on how to substitute stevia, honey or agave into a recipe like this?

    Thanks,

    Leslie
