Ingredients

2 eggs, room temperature
1 cup pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling
½ cup melted coconut oil
½ cup pure maple syrup
½ cup coconut sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ¾ cups oat flour, spooned & leveled
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper or grease it well.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: eggs, pumpkin puree, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, coconut sugar, and vanilla extract.
In another bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: oat flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and pumpkin spice.
Combine the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients. Mix the two together using a rubber spatula until there are no visible traces of flour. Mix in chocolate chips, if desired.
Pour the batter into the greased loaf pan. Top with rolled oats, pumpkin seeds, or mini chocolate chips.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes. The bread is done when there's a nice crack in the middle and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Mine took just under 1 hour, so keep an eye on it.
Enjoy your homemade oat flour pumpkin bread!

Notes

Use pure pumpkin purée, not pie filling. Brands vary in thickness — if yours is watery, blot with a paper towel so the bread doesn’t turn gummy.

Measure oat flour correctly. Spoon and level it (or weigh it) — too much makes the bread dense.

Don’t overmix. Oat flour can get gummy if stirred too much. Mix just until everything is combined.

Bake times may vary. Start checking at 50 minutes; the bread is ready when a toothpick comes out clean and a crack forms on top.

Cool before slicing. Oat flour breads need time to set or they may crumble.

Freezer-friendly. Wrap slices tightly and freeze for up to 3 months.
