My gluten free dairy free pumpkin bread is delicious/moist, however,falls apart when cutting a slice which makes it difficult to serve.
What can I do to prevent the bread from falling apart?

Since I bake dairy free, there are no eggs, I used EnerG egg replacer that I use in all of my recipes.
I used sorghum flour.
I used mini loaf pans.
I did not use Zanthan gum. I will try that!
Again, thank you for taking the time to offer suggestions.
Create a great day!
-try waiting a day to cut and serve. i get much less desirable results when i try to eat something hot out of the oven but find that a little time helps the product "settle."
-use a smaller, narrower, shallower baking dish. i've been less successful with pans like bundt pans or loaf pans than i've been with muffin tins or a baking dish.
-try different flours. though you've hit on a tasty and moist recipe, you might also need a different balance of starchy and whole-grain flours to get the right texture you are looking for.
-i'm not big on using xanthan or guar gums, though i know they can be helpful, as susan g mentions. but maybe that's a route you would want to take if you aren't doing that already.
-depending on what you're making, an extra egg white might help with binding.
