Get ready for a treat this fall with Pumpkin Bread in a Jar!
I’m going to admit if you have not figured it out already, I’m totally obsessed with baking in a jar! These just make the cutest little gifts and desserts in a personalized size!
This past week I decided to try out my pumpkin bread recipe in a jar, then I topped it with Cool Whip Cream Cheese Frosting and it was heavenly!
Just a note here, I am not sure if this is still sold, so if not, just use a whipped frosting.
I started taking pictures and my frosting started melting quick because I made the mistake of topping them a little too early.
The mistake was my reward because that warm bread topped with the frosting was simply delicious, then I could not help but eat one!
How do you make Gluten-Free Pumpkin Bread in a Jar?
If you are gluten free remember, this can be made gluten free…that’s how I make it! If you are not, then use regular flour and you are all set!
I use Better Batter Gluten Free All Purpose Flour for ALL of my recipes that call for flour. It is a great even switch to regular flour.
Enjoy this delicious treat!
Pumpkin Bread in a Jar
Ingredients
- 1 Cup of Apple Butter
- 2 Cups of Brown Sugar packed
- 1 Cup of Sugar
- 3 Cups of Flour or Gluten Free All Purpose Flour
- 1 15 oz Can of Pumpkin
- 2 Eggs
- 1 Tbsp Baking Powder
- 1 Tsp Cinnamon
- 2 Tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice
- 1 Tsp Baking Soda
- 12-24 Half Pint Jars
- 2 Tubs Cool Whip Cream Cheese Frosting or your favorite Cream Cheese Frosting
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375*.
- In a large mixing bowl, mix all the ingredients together in order until dough forms.
- At this point you can either use 12 Half Pint Jars sprayed with non stick baking spray and 1 bread loaf pan, or you can use 24 Half Pint Jars.
- Pour the batter in leaving about 1 1/2 inches at the top of the jars for room to rise.
- This will bake in the oven for 45 minutes- 1 hour or until the bread takes shape. I usually do the standard toothpick or fork test, to be sure no dough comes out on the toothpick.
- Let these completely cool then serve with Cool Whip Cream Cheese Frosting.
- I typically will use a Wilton 1M tip and cake decorating bag to do the frosting. Garnish with a little cinnamon.

Wow- these look so good! I love that they are in little jars- perfect for Thanksgiving!
Have you ever just made as two loaf pans or a 9×13 for a large gathering? Sounds delish! will be add to the “fall” baking list!
I have done this in 2 loaf pans. I actually can usually do this in the shapes and a loaf pan as well.
Very pretty, love pumpkin recipes at this time of the year. I made some blueberry cakes in the mason jars and they came out very nice. Nice post Andi
What a great idea!! Those sound delicious!
Mmmm, these look so good, and that melty frosting looks great. Adds to the ooey gooey yumminess of the photos. Definitely pinning. Thanks so much for sharing on Inspire Me Wednesday. Featuring this in next week’s issue.
Do we have to use apple butter or is there something that could be substituted? Thanks!
I have used applesauce in place of it. You could likely use oil too in place of it but I haven’t tried that, so it could change things. Applesauce though I’ve tried and it works well.
