This gluten-free pumpkin roll is an easy to make must-have addition to your Thanksgiving dinner! Your family won’t even know you used a gluten-free recipe!

This gluten-free pumpkin roll recipe is a family favorite, and super easy to make!

You know what’s awesome about cake rolls? They look all fabulous and complicated – like you put a lot of work into them, but really? They’re a breeze, and take hardly any time to bake! Also, bonus points for getting a really nice icing to cake ratio.

I’ve wanted to make a gluten-free pumpkin cake roll for years now, but I was intimidated. I mean, you know how gluten-free products have a reputation for being dry, cracking, crumbling, and all that nasty stuff.

But you don’t have to worry about that with this recipe. In fact, even the tightest part of the roll stayed springy and flexible, just like a cake roll should.

You will love how easy this is to make!

    I LOVE pumpkin roll cakes! I tried making one last month. It was an epic fail. The cake layer was way too thin so there was way more frosting than cake. I’ll have to try your recipe!
