No need to wait for fall!
PUMPKIN BREAD REVIEWS
"Hi Jamie. For years I've been wanting to thank you for your blog, your recipes, videos, advice, and for everything else you do. I found your blog when I was looking for information and everyday advice from a mom and not just an article about milk allergy. We love your bread recipes. My two kids love helping me bake them into muffins. They like sharing the muffins with their teachers and school staff and neighbors. A few years ago my daughter had the pumpkin bread as a birthday cake since it was a small celebration with my parents and sister....big hugs." Karla
"This was AMAZING! I ended up needing to substitute the egg/applesauce with a flax egg (we were out of eggs), and I threw in some walnuts to add some texture, and let me tell ya – I’m definitely making this again." Baalika
" I thought the muffins came out great and I can’t wait for my daughter to try them in the morning. Thanks for a great recipe!" Alison
"Your pumpkin bread recipe is the absolute best!!!! I've been making it for years and was so happy I found your site." Carla on Facebook
"This turned out so good!!!!!" Pinterest Reader
BROWN SUGAR TOPPING
My family loves the brown sugar topping on this pumpkin bread.
We don't put a topping on our banana or apple bread.
But it does taste amazing on pumpkin bread.
Add the topping!
SUGAR & SWEETNESS
Here's what I don't tell my family, though.
When I add the brown sugar topping to our pumpkin bread,
I use the lesser amount of sugar in the bread recipe.
And my family can't even tell.
MAKING PUMPKIN MUFFINS
While "quick" breads can take 40-50 minutes to bake, muffins take half that time.
So if you want this pumpkin bread quickly, feel free to put the batter into a muffin tin instead.
It should make about 12 muffins.
And your bake time will only be about 20 minutes.
I really like to add dairy-free chocolate chips to pumpkin muffins.
Now see the bread recipe below!
PUMPKIN BREAD RECIPE
Oven 350
NOTES
This recipe calls for just 1 cup of pumpkin puree, not a whole can.
This recipe also calls for plain pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling that's sweet and spiced.
BREAD INGREDIENTS
1.5 cup flour
1.5 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
⅛ teaspoon salt
1 egg or ¼ cup applesauce
½ or ¾ cup brown sugar (you decide)
¼ cup melted coconut oil or vegetable oil
1 cup pumpkin puree (not whole can)
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon cinnamon
TOPPING (OPTIONAL)
⅓ cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon melted dairy-free butter
Mix brown sugar and melted dairy-free butter together.
Spread mixture on top of the pumpkin bread batter before baking.
BREAD INSTRUCTIONS
Grease loaf pan or use my favorite non-stick USA bread pan (affiliate).
In a medium bowl, mix the first four dry ingredients and make a well in the center:
1.5 cup flour
1.5 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
⅛ teaspoon salt
In small bowl, mix the second set of ingredients:
1 egg or ¼ cup applesauce
½ or ¾ cup brown sugar (you decide)
¼ cup liquid coconut oil or vegetable oil
1 cup pumpkin puree (not a whole can)
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Add wet mixture to dry mixture.
Stir until combined.
The batter will be pretty dry and stiff, that's ok.
Spoon the mixture into your bread pan.
Spread the brown sugar and butter mixture over the top (optional).
Bake about 40-50 minutes or until a wooden toothpick comes out clean from the center (the topping may still be wet so move a bit to the side before inserting toothpick into the center).
Cool on a wire rack.
Store in an airtight container or wrap in foil.
The flavors will meld better on the second day, but who can really wait that long?
Hope you love this milk and egg free pumpkin bread as much as we do!

Do you think this would work with oat flour?
Hi Dee, we have not tried that. I'm told often that our recipes work well with 1:1 gluten-free flours. If you try, we'd love to hear how it works. 🙂
I wish you would put in a link to be able to print this recipe, is there any chance ce you could do that?
Hi Terri, we started blogging long before the print feature was available and just haven't had time to convert them all. I'm a one-man-show. 🙂 But inside our membership our top 100 recipes are printable, if you are in there. 🙂 This one is included.
Looks delicious! Can you sub AIP flowers for regular flour?
I'm not sure on that, Marie. But if you try, please let us know! We would love to hear.
Just out of curiosity, did you change this recipe? I’ve been making it for a few years now and I really thought it used to call for regular sugar and 2 teaspoons of pumpkin spice and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, am I going crazy?
Hi Carla! You have such a good eye. We did make those tweaks to this recipe during all the pandemic baking we were doing. The 1 tsp pumpkin spice yielded just as good results so we decided to cut that back, saving people money and supply. And the brown sugar gave it a more warm, fall-ish taste which we really liked. Plus, we highlighted the topping this time around as it's so good. I'm so glad it's one of your favorites! Feel free to use the old ways, we loved that, too. Hope that helps!
@Jamie Kaufmann, thanks for your response! We just love it in our house, you are a fantastic resource for allergy families!!
@Carla, You are welcome! We love helping, so glad you're part of our community. xoxo
I have found my new FAVORITEE Zucchini Bread recipe! Hubby is lactose intolerant but loves his sweets. Now I can serve him something DELICIOUS and something that won't upset him. I used the applesauce instead of the egg. We have decided this bread is better than any quick bread we have ever had at Starbucks. Next will try your Banana Bread.
Sharon, this makes my heart sing! Thank you for sharing!!! I mean, I love Starbucks but... we will take it!
It's day 10 of staying at home during the coronavirus epidemic. None of us have allergies; however, we have run out of milk and eggs. I am excited to try this recipe! It will be a nice treat for the family in some very difficult times. Thank you!
Hi Amy, I'm so glad we can help! Be sure to check out our cake recipe, too. Yummy cake, no milk or egg, either. We got you! milkallergymom.com/cake
This was AMAZING! I ended up needing to substitute the egg/applesauce for a flax egg (we were out of eggs), and I threw in some walnuts to add some texture, and let me tell ya - I'm definitely making this again.
Thanks so much for this review! We love it when non-allergy friends find the recipe as easy and delicious as our community does! xoxo
Just made these muffins tonight and I’m so pleased ! My daughter has an egg allergy so I was super happy to find a recipe that is so simple with minimal ingredients 🙂 I bought pure pumpkin so I added the pumpkin pie spice, subbed 3 tbs. applesauce for egg, 1/4 cup applesauce for oil, and then I added even a little more applesauce on top of that! I actually only added 1/2 cup sugar instead of 3/4 cup for using pure pumpkin. I thought the muffins came out great and I can’t wait for my daughter to try them in the morning 🙂 Thanks for a great recipe! Hope you don’t mind me sharing my substitutions!
Oh I hope she loved them! And thank you for sharing the substitutions! Good to know!
So happy to hear this, Alison! Thanks for sharing!
Hi there! I use your banana bread recipe with a few small tweaks because my daughter can't have any sugar so I have to add a little more liquid to have it bind but it works and delcious! Anyway... for this can I use pumpkin puree and add my own spices versus the filling (has too much added sugar and other things).
Thanks!
Stephanie
Hi Stephanie! Yes, in the write-up we mention how to use spices in plain pumpkin for the recipe, too. Look for the orange lettering. Hope that helps!
Thank you for all your great recipes. I have made many of them for my 20 month old grandson.
Oh that makes us happy. So glad! What a great grandma. 🙂
You are so welcome. I'm glad we can help!
I want to thank you for this wonderful website! I have recently been diagnosed with a milk allergy. You have already helped me in so many ways! 🙂
