This healthy flourless pumpkin bread is a moist, flavorful loaf made with oats and pure pumpkin, naturally sweetened with maple syrup. Perfect for a wholesome breakfast or snack, it combines the warmth of pumpkin pie spice with the hearty texture of oats, all baked into a tender, gluten-free bread without any flour.

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 2 cups old-fashioned or quick cooking oats
  • 1 (15 ounce) can pure pumpkin
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (or just cinnamon)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray to ensure the bread doesn’t stick and set it aside.
  2. Blend Ingredients: Add all the ingredients—oats, pumpkin, maple syrup, eggs, baking soda, and pumpkin pie spice—to a blender. Blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Be careful not to overblend, as overheating the oats can make the texture more like oatmeal rather than bread.
  3. Pour Batter and Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 30 minutes, checking doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean when the bread is done. If the top browns before the inside is fully baked, cover the loaf with foil and continue baking until done.
  4. Cool and Store: Allow the bread to cool completely in the loaf pan. Once cooled, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep it fresh.

Notes

  • Use old-fashioned oats for better texture or quick cooking oats for a slightly quicker blend.
  • Do not overblend the batter to avoid changing the texture.
  • Cover the loaf with foil if it browns too quickly before fully baking inside.
  • This bread is best stored refrigerated and can be enjoyed cold or warmed.
  • For added texture, consider folding in nuts or raisins after blending, but this will change the batter consistency.
