Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup (natural)
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 cup plant-based milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon ginger
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Optional Add-ins

  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
  • 1/3 cup raisins or dried cranberries
  • 1/3 cup dark chocolate chips (plant-based)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, maple syrup (natural), vegetable oil, apple cider vinegar, plant-based milk, and vanilla extract (natural) until smooth and well combined.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, ginger, and natural gelling agent to ensure a lump-free base and evenly distribute the spices.
  3. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread tender and fluffy.
  4. Pour and Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top evenly. Bake for 55 to 65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Your kitchen will fill with inviting, spiced aromas.
  5. Cool and Enjoy: Allow the pumpkin bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. This allows cleaner slicing and the loaf to finish setting perfectly.

Notes

  • Measure flour correctly by spooning and leveling to avoid a dense loaf.
  • Use room temperature wet ingredients for even mixing.
  • Do not overmix to keep the bread light and tender.
  • Start testing doneness at 50 minutes since ovens vary.
  • Use freshly ground spices for the most vibrant flavor.
