Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.75 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Pumpkin puree
- 0.75 cup Brown sugar
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Neutral oil (e.g., vegetable oil, canola oil)
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened non-dairy milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
- 0.5 cup Vegan chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt until well combined. Set the dry ingredients aside.
In a separate mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, granulated sugar, oil, non-dairy milk, and vanilla extract. Whisk thoroughly until smooth and well mixed.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, folding gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can affect the texture of the bread.
If using walnuts, pecans, or chocolate chips, gently fold them into the batter at this stage.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs attached.
Remove the pan from the oven and allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve the pumpkin bread plain, with vegan butter, or as is. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
