Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon (natural)
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg (natural)
- 1/4 teaspoon cloves (natural)
- 1/2 teaspoon natural gelling agent
- 1 cup pureed pumpkin
- 1/2 cup plant-based milk
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil or melted plant-based butter
- 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a loaf pan with vegetable oil or line it with parchment paper. Measure and gather all ingredients for seamless mixing.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and natural gelling agent to form the dry base of the bread.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, blend pureed pumpkin, plant-based milk, apple cider vinegar, vegetable oil or melted plant-based butter, and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) until smooth and uniform.
- Blend Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture with a spatula. Stir only until the flour is fully incorporated to avoid overmixing and keep the bread tender.
- Pour and Bake: Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 55 to 65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the bread to cool slightly before removing it from the pan.
Notes
- Use fresh pumpkin puree for richer flavor and better texture.
- Do not overmix the batter to ensure a soft and fluffy bread.
- Check baking progress 5 minutes before the recommended time as oven temperatures vary.
- Let the loaf cool completely before slicing for clean, even pieces.
- Use room temperature ingredients for even mixing and better rise.
