Happy Monday! I hope you had a fabulous weekend. I sure did. There was lots of hikes & outdoors time. Our crazy rain storms have subsided and now there are frosty mornings and bluebird skies during the day.

We have had some snow & the aspen trees are all shades of gold, red & green. What does all that mean? I crave pumpkin. Lots & lots of pumpkin.

Welcome Gluten Free Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cake to your world. You will be very glad you did.

Soooooo. Not only is this cake gluten free ~ but I sweetened it with pure honey. The chocolate chips add some more sweetness.

This cake is perfectly moist with a delectable crumb. Once you dig in you will be hooked.

We dipped ours in some vanilla & chocolate whipped cream, that I happened to have from some cupcakes I was styling. With or without that your taste buds will be really happy.

You could serve this as a holiday dessert ~ it would be great for Thanksgiving & Halloween too.

It would also be wonderful for a more decadent breakfast or brunch.

    This looks so wonderful! I need to make more baked goods with oat flour–it is such a great ingredient and its so easy to make your own version right at home (with a Vitamix).

    Beautiful!

    Lovely recipe and scene Marla! So fall. Love using oat flour and I’m sure it would make this cake a lovely texture too.

    Certified gluten-free oat flour is a life saver for those on a gluten-free diet and performs so well in quick breads. LOVE this recipe for Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cake. Perfect for fall! Like how you go all-natural and sweeten with honey or agave. Gorgeous styling and photography, too, m’lady. Thanks for sharing!

    reply
    1. Marla October 1, 2013 at 8:24 am

      It really is a lifesaver ~ Oat flour (other than blanched almond flour) is my all time favorite. I love how healthy it is and how versatile. Glad you like the cake and thanks for the photo compliments!

  23. Jennifer October 1, 2013 at 11:45 am

    could you sub the oat flour for chickpeas blended down ? I dont like the calorie content in flour and with beans it makes it full of fiber

    reply
    1. Marla October 2, 2013 at 4:09 am

      I am not sure. You can try if that is something you prefer. Good luck!

      reply
  24. Jess October 2, 2013 at 7:34 am

    Could you use regular flour if you aren’t worried about being gluten free?

    reply
    1. Marla October 2, 2013 at 8:02 am

      You can try it that way Jess ~ though I have not tested with any other flours. If you try please let us know how it turns out 🙂

      reply
  25. Paula @ Vintage Kitchen Notes October 2, 2013 at 9:25 am

    It has oats in it, how awesome! Love the ingredients in this recipe Marla, and gf is such an extra bonus. Gorgeous cake!

      Thanks Paula! hopefully you can taste test this cake real soon 😉

  26. Traci October 2, 2013 at 11:37 am

    Just made this today on a rainy day and it is SCRUMPTIOUS! I didn’t have oat flour on hand, and do not require gluten-free, so I substituted 1 1/2 c. spelt flour (ancient grain but not technically gluten-free) and 1/2 c. amaranth flour (gluten-free). Can’t wait for the family to come home after school to this goodness!

    reply
    1. Marla October 5, 2013 at 5:06 am

      Hi Traci, thanks for sharing your version with us. LOVE how you improvised with the ingredients you had on hand. So smart. Hope everyone enjoyed 🙂

  27. Jen Davis October 4, 2013 at 7:41 pm

    I made this today using the exact recipe and I love it! So delicious and it made the house smell so amazing. It was wet and dreary fall day here and this was really nice for everyone to come home to. Thanks!

      Hi Jen, thanks so much for stopping by & sharing your success with this cake. Glad you all enjoyed it 🙂

  28. Michelle October 6, 2013 at 6:09 am

    As I also can’t eat oats. …I wad wondering if you thought almond flour would work instead of oat flour. Cake looks beautiful!

    reply
    1. Marla October 6, 2013 at 8:47 am

      You can test drive the almond flour ~ though I have not tested the measurements & functionality for that in this recipe. I do love almond flour. Please let us know how it turns out if you try it!

    I am now putting this into the oven for the second time this week! It is a huge hit in our house! The first time I used whole wheat spelt flour, and this time I am using a gluten-free blend. The only change I made was to add 3/4 of the chocolate chips to the batter and sprinkle the rest on top. A total keeper!

  31. Shannon Houlihan October 10, 2013 at 3:56 pm

    I bake something every time I go home from school on the weekends, and I decided to make this last weekend. It was fantastic! My family loved it and the best part was that I had left overs take back to school! It’s definitely a keeper.

    reply
    1. Marla October 11, 2013 at 3:42 am

      Hi Shannon ~ I am so thrilled to hear that. The leftovers are the best part!!

  32. Pascal October 19, 2013 at 12:26 pm

    Thanks for this delicious recipe! My father in law is gluten intolerant and I was looking for something “new” … He loved it (he didn’t say so but I know him quite a bit now)!
    I’ve just bookmarked this page and will definitely bake it once again very soon! Brilliant!

  34. Lindsay November 28, 2013 at 5:34 am

    I made this last night for thanksgiving today for my son. Should I have refrigerated it or was leaving it on counter ok?? I didn’t even think about that until this morning 🙁 please let me know

    reply
    1. Marla November 28, 2013 at 6:20 am

      I is fine to leave it out. After a day I tend to cut slices & store it in an airtight container in the fridge 🙂 Happy Thanksgiving!

  35. Pop Chef December 9, 2013 at 8:22 am

    Good post. It looks like that pumpkin chocolate chip cake didn’t last very long.

    reply
  36. Contessa September 13, 2014 at 7:06 am

    Hmmmm, mine didn’t turn out so cake-like – no delectable crumb here. I want to say mine turned out like more of a firmer flan type dessert. I wonder what I did “wrong”.

    reply
    1. Marla September 14, 2014 at 7:20 am

      Hi! So sorry to hear that. Did you try using a toothpick to check for doneness? There should be little to no crumb left on a toothpick when the cake is done baking. If there is more than that you need to keep the cake in the oven longer.

      reply
  37. Amy October 8, 2014 at 2:46 pm

    This sounds delicious – I love that there’s coconut oil in this. Plus pumpkin makes everything better!

  38. cathy November 8, 2015 at 5:27 pm

    Can you use almond milk instead? My son has a milk allergy

    reply
    1. Marla November 8, 2015 at 6:45 pm

      Hi! I’ve not tested this recipe with that, but you can try unsweetened almond milk & let us know how it turns out!
