Ingredients
  

Main ingredients

  • 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour blend (1:1, with xanthan gum)
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or oat milk)
  • 1/2 cup dairy-free butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Streusel topping

  • 3/4 cup gluten-free oat flour
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup dairy-free butter, melted
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • pinch salt

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  • In another bowl, cream the dairy-free butter with brown sugar until light. Add eggs one at a time, then stir in pumpkin puree, almond milk, and vanilla until smooth.
  • Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Avoid over-mixing to keep the cake tender.
  • In a small bowl, combine oat flour, brown sugar, melted dairy-free butter, cinnamon, and salt until crumbly.

Baking

  • Pour half the batter into the pan, sprinkle half the streusel, add the remaining batter, and finish with the rest of the streusel.
  • Bake for 45–55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top browns too quickly, tent with foil.
  • Let cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Use a reliable gluten-free 1:1 flour blend that contains xanthan gum for structure. Measure flour by spooning it into the cup and leveling off to avoid a dense loaf. Room-temperature ingredients mix more evenly.
