VEGAN PUMPKIN BREAD IS HERE!
MOIST. FLUFFY. A LITTLE SWEET. A HINT OF PUMPKIN SPICE. OMG.
This pumpkin bread is not only delicious but it’s also nutritious. This bread is perfect for a snack, a great dessert for when guests are over, or even for breakfast (I won’t tell).
I used applesauce in this recipe instead of oil to keep the fat and calories a bit lower and I didn’t use any refined sugar. Coconut sugar is a great sweetener because it has a low glycemic index (won’t cause a huge spike to your blood sugar) and maple syrup is amazing as well because it’s completely pure and unrefined – it’s unprocessed and in its natural state.
Cozy up with some tea, a blanket, a slice of pumpkin bread, and your favorite movie or book…doesn’t that sound so nice?!
This Recipe Is:
✔️Plant-based
✔️Vegan
✔️Gluten-free
✔️Oil-free
✔️100% delish
This recipe is completely oil-free, the pumpkin puree adds a great moistness to this recipe and makes it the perfect texture. A slice of vegan pumpkin bread is perfect for a quick breakfast, a snack in the afternoon, to bring with you to a pot-luck or to impress your friends and family!
Everyone who I have made this for and those who have already created this recipe have raved to me about how surprisingly yummy it is!
