Pumpkin Bread

Okay, another of my favorites at the holidays is that amazing smell of Pumkin Bread!  MMMMM I can smell it now! Oh that's cuz I just made some!!  :)
I took my original gluten FULL recipe and lowered the sugar and the oil and made it gluten free and even better than before!!  It is amazing! (if I do say so myself!)

Okay, I better tell you first, this batch I make is a jumbo because that is how I have to bake for my family!  So you can 1/2 it if you want, or just make extra for your friends and neighbors!

Pumpkin Bread
1 large Can pumpkin (stick to Libby's, it really has the most flavor!)
1/2 C ground flax seed (you can get it at Costco now! also called Flax meal)
3/4 C oil
1 C applesauce
2 1/2 C sugar
5 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla (mexican vanilla is best!)
Mix that really well. Then add dry ingredients:
4 3/4 C gf flour mix.  (I usually use 1/2 brown rice mixture and 1/2 rice powder mixture, or use all brown rice mixture because the rice powder mix makes it too fine.)
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 Tbl each - ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves

This makes 3 large loaves or 6 medium. I got some disposable medium size pans at Walmart that I reuse. I also make muffins with them.

Bake @ 350 for about an hour.  The large loaves take an hour.  The smaller I start checking at 50 minutes, but remember it always takes things made with rice flour longer to cook than normal!  so don't worry!
muffins take about 15-20 minutes.  minis take about 12. ENJOY!
