-
Preheat your oven to 325ºF/160ºC.
-
Lightly grease and flour (I used a little brown rice flour) 4 mini-loaf tins.
-
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the flours, starches, xanthan, baking powder, baking soda, spices, and salt. Set aside.
-
In your stand mixer bowl, combine the sugar, pumpkin, oil, maple syrup, water, and vanilla and mix on a low speed until combined.
-
Slowly add the flour mixture until all is just combined. (This happens quickly.)
-
Divide the batter between your prepared tins, smoothing out the tops with the back of a spoon or spatula, since it will be a little thick.
-
Bake the bread for 45 to 55 minutes, or until firm to the touch. (The bread should pull slightly away from the pan when done, and will be lightly browned.)
-
Let the loaves cool for 10 minutes, before popping them out to cool completely on a wire rack. (Resist the urge to cut into these loaves while still hot. Like any bread, they will be a bit crumbly when hot, but firm up perfectly as they cool.)
