Vegan (Or Not) Pumpkin Bread
- 1 cup fresh pumpkin puree or 1 cup solid-pack pumpkin
- 12 cup vegetable oil
- 12 cup brown sugar
- 14 cup white sugar or 14 cup maple syrup
- 1 eggs or 1 egg substitute
- 12 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 12 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 14 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 14 teaspoon ground cloves
- 14 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 12 cups flour (can substitute half whole wheat pastry flour)
- 14-12 cup plain soymilk or 14-12 cup 2% low-fat milk
- 14 cup toasted pumpkin seeds (optional)
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Oil and flour a standard loaf pan and set aside.
- Mix together pumpkin, oil, sugars, egg or egg substitute and vanilla.
- Sift together spices, salt, baking soda, baking powder and flour.
- Stir into pumpkin mixture.
- Add (soy)milk until batter is smooth and easy to stir.
- (Typically, you'll need more milk if you used solid-pack pumpkin, and less if you've used fresh puree or substituted maple syrup for the white sugar.
- ).
- Pour batter into prepared pan and sprinkle with pumpkin seeds, if desired.
- Bake for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool in pan 10 minutes.
- Invert pan onto a wire rack.
- Flip loaf right-side-up and allow to rest for at least half a day.
- (This allows the bread to moisten up nicely, and is particularly important if you made the vegan version--the crust will be chewy and the interior gummy if you do not let it sit.)
- Slice and serve.
