Gluten-free Pumpkin Oatmeal Bread with White chocolate chips is a delicious snack or breakfast -- freezes well too!

For example, in lieu of some of the sugar, I’ve used a Stevia blend and also reduced part of the oil with extra pumpkin puree for added moistness. Additionally, instead of using entirely a gluten-free baking mix, I swapped in oats for extra fiber and texture. Oh, and those white chocolate chips are a sweet splurge, but you could substitute nuts or dried fruit.   And, if for some reason this pumpkin bread recipe doesn’t float your boat, I have another gluten-free, paleo friendly Chocolate Chip Cranberry Pumpkin Bread that you should check out.

    • Thanks Neil! My curiosity was also piqued by the free nutrition class you were taking — do you have to be an RD or is it open to layperson nutrition nerds?

    • the white chocolate kinda melted into the bread, I was bummed at first . . . until I tasted and it was TDF!

  2. WHITE CHOCOLATE?! PUMPKIN?! I gotta figure out how to do this…… Is there a dairy, sugar, soy, nut free white chocolate in this world? I think I found a recipe for making white chocolate. Man, I need to slave in my kitchen because this combo sounds absolutely EPIC!

  3. YUMMY! I love the added white chocolate chips…Since it has still been so hot in Houston, I’ve been making a lot of Pumpkin Smoothie and Pumpkin Greek Yogurt Bowls…Too hot yet for the other recipes! 😉
