Ingredients You’ll Need To Make Vegan Pumpkin Bread

Wet Ingredients

• Pumpkin Puree: Make sure you use pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie filling. We used store-bought, but you could also make your own.
• Sunflower Oil: If you don’t have sunflower oil, we have had success making this recipe with melted refined coconut oil. Any neutral oil should work as well.
• Apple Cider Vinegar (or Lemon Juice): As an acid, vinegar reacts with the baking soda to give the batter a lift as it bakes.
• Warm Unsweetened Almond Milk: Or any unsweetened plant-based milk of your choice. Learn how to make your own here.
• Vanilla Extract: Enhances the flavor of the bread.
• Flaxseed Meal: Although we don’t make a “traditional” flax egg for this recipe, the flax still acts as a binding agent and egg-substitute in the pumpkin bread.

Dry Ingredients

• All-Purpose Flour: We have not tested this recipe with other flours so we do not recommend substituting anything else as it will yield a result that we cannot guarantee!
• Light Brown Sugar: Adds the perfect touch of sweetness. Dark brown sugar or coconut sugar will also work.
• Baking Powder and Baking Soda: Chemical leavening agents that cause batters to rise when baked. Be sure not to mix up the two!
• Pumpkin Spice: 1 tbsp seems like a lot but trust me, you’ll need a lot to be able to taste the spice! We used a premade pumpkin pie spice for this bread, but you could also make your own with a combination of cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, allspice and cloves.
• Salt: Don’t skip the salt! Salt helps with the dough texture while also working to enhance the flavor and color.
• Optional Add-Ins: Take this pumpkin bread to the next level by adding in nuts such as walnuts or pecans, and/or dairy-free chocolate chips!

This recipe was adapted from our Easy Vegan Banana Bread. If you’re looking for another easy sweet bread to make, we recommend that one!

Our New Samsung Smart Range

This recipe was brought to life in our new Samsung Range! We recently upgraded our range in our kitchen as we were seeking a sleek and more modern design, and we are so happy with how it turned out.

Not only does it have the typical functions of a range, but it also includes:

• A Smart Dial with learned behavior capabilities – all of the oven settings as simplified into a single dial that intuitively learns based on your cooking preferences
• An Air Fryer + Custom air fryer tray
• W-Fi Connectivity: We can monitor and modify our oven temperature right from our phones. It’s extra useful because sometimes I forget if I turned off the oven if I leave the house and this way, I can check remotely!
• Flexible Cooktop: It has a 5-burner cooktop with edge-to-edge grates to easily slide our pots and pans across!

We are big fans of Samsung Home Appliances and we definitely recommend you check them out if you’re looking to upgrade your kitchen!

2. In a small bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients and set aside.
3. In a separate large bowl, mix together the dry ingredients until smooth. Form a well in the middle and pour in the wet ingredients. Mix everything together until combined.
