Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine gluten-free flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg. Whisk to blend, then set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, melt butter or coconut oil. Whisk in maple syrup and brown sugar until smooth. Add pumpkin puree, egg (or flax egg), and vanilla; mix until combined.
  4. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture gently. If desired, fold in nuts or chocolate chips.
