The air is chilling which means it's officially fall season, aka the season for never leaving your house and eating excessive amounts of pumpkin flavored goodies - get on board and get cozy. Whip up this pumpkin bread, grab your favorite blanket, light all the pumpkin candles and nestle in on the couch to rot for the entire weekend while re-watching Gossip Girl for the 5th time - the perfect backdrop for your comfy, cozy fall day.

All of my baking recipes are gluten free (bc gluten has plagued my life) and refined sugar free. I use gluten free paleo flour and coconut sugar but these are both a 1:1 ratio with regular flour and sugar, so you can sub if you’re not into the whole “healthy baking” thing – but trust me on the coconut sugar. It’s nutty and toasty and adds a delicious flavor to baked goods.

  3. Gently fold the pumpkin mixture into the flour mixture with a spatula, just to combine. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan.
