Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup Brown sugar
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 1 cup Canned pumpkin puree
- 0.33 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 medium Apple (peeled and diced)
- 0.33 cup Plant-based milk (or regular milk for non-vegan)
- 0.25 cup Neutral vegetable oil (e.g., canola)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ground ginger.
In another bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, applesauce, diced apple, plant-based or regular milk, oil, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
If using, fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans for added texture and flavor.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and enjoy your Pumpkin Apple Spice Bread as is, or serve with a spread of vegan butter or maple syrup for extra decadence!
