- 1 cup gluten free flour blend can sub with whole wheat pastry flour
- 1 cup super fine almond flour
- 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ⅛ teaspoon each, ground allspice, cloves, and nutmeg
- ¾ cup pumpkin purée
- 2 eggs
- ¼ cup light molasses
- ⅓ cup maple syrup
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoon avocado oil
Simple Icing - Optional
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 3-4 tablespoon milk of choice
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
To a large mixing bowl, add flours, salt, baking powder, and spices and mix well.
To another bowl, add all remaining ingredients and whisk together until completely smooth.
Add wet ingredients to dry and fold together until combined.
Pour batter into a greased or lined loaf pan and bake at 350 degrees for 50-55 minutes (52 minutes was our sweet spot).
Let cool for 15 minutes. Then carefully remove loaf from pan and transfer to a cooling rack. Let cool fully.
While gingerbread cools, add powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to a small bowl. Whisk together until completely smooth. NOTE: for a thicker icing, reduce milk.
Once loaf has completely cooled, drizzle icing over the top.
