How do you make vegan pumpkin bread?

To start, you are going to preheat your oven to 375 degrees.

Then, grease your bread pan. We use coconut oil, but if you are allergic, you can use another flavorless oil or even vegan butter.

In a large bowl, add the pureed pumpkin, along with the brown sugar, melted coconut oil, unsweetened applesauce, and vanilla. Stir together with a spatula.

Next, sift in the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and nutmeg. Add in the salt.

Stir again just until combined.

If you are adding chopped walnuts or vegan chocolate chips, gently fold those in at this time.

Pour into your greased bread pan and tap the bottom of the pan to ensure it’s evenly leveled.

Place in oven for 35-45 minutes. When done, a toothpick inserted will come out clean.

*The top of the bread should be a deep brown color. If after 45 minutes, your bread needs more time, cover the top with foil and continue cooking in 5 minute intervals until the toothpick comes out clean.

Remove from oven and let cool for 15 minutes in pan. Then carefully remove and place on a cooling rack until completely cooled.

Top with our vegan maple cinnamon butter.
