Xanthan gum is essential in this kind of gluten-free baking, Jerrie. Without it, your pumpkin bread will be dense, heavy, and won't rise properly. Please include it in your recipe or use this recipe for Gluten-Free Pumpkin Bread made with our baking mix, which already has the xanthan gum added to it. Happy baking! Kye@KAF
