Vegan Pumpkin Bread

Sam
Moist, flavorful, pumpkin roll-esque flavor. All while vegan — egg-free, dairy-free, honey-free!

Servings 2 8x4 in. loaf pans

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups All-purpose (AP) flour
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon Baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons Pumpkin pie spice or 1½ t. nutmeg + ½ cloves
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • ¾ cup Unsalted vegan butter, softened I like Earth Balance
  • cup Cane sugar Most orgaic surgars are vegan
  • ½ cup Brown sugar
  • 2 Flax eggs Two flax eggs = 2 T. ground flax + 6 T. water. Mix and let sit for a few minutes.
  • 1-15 oz. Can of pumpkin puree NOT pumpkin pie filling
  • ½ cup mini vegan chocolate chips (OPTIONAL) I used Enjoy Life's semi-sweet mini chips

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 325°. Grease and lightly flour two 8 x 4 loaf pans
  • In a medium bowl, combine flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, and cinnamon
  • In a large bowl, cream together the vegan butter and sugar. Add flax eggs and mix until combined. Add pumpkin puree and mix again until just combined (it may look a little "curdled," but it's not)
  • Slowly add dry ingredients and mix until combined
  • Optional: mix in mini vegan chips by hand
  • Divide into two floured/greased 8x4 inch loaf pans and bake at 325° for 65-75 minutes. Check to see if it's done with a toothpick — if it comes out clean, the bread is done. Of course, if you hit a chocolate chip, you'll need to check another spot
  • Let cool in their pans and once they're cool, turn them out onto cooling racks to finish cooling down completely
  • Store in an airtight container and it will last about 4 - 5 days.

Notes

  • Vegan chocolate chips are optional. I used Enjoy Life's semi-sweet mini chips.
  • Can add nuts instead of chips, as well!
  • Don't mind my loaf pan in the photo. I was testing this fun, decorative pan and decided to halve this recipe and make only one loaf. But this pan is bigger than 8x4 inches so the loaf is pretty squat. If you're interested in this pan, it's by Nordicware :) 
  • Loaves should freeze up pretty nicely for about 3 months. Just take them out of the freezer and thaw them in the refrigerator overnight.
