Heather Recipe ❘ Amazing Vegan Pumpkin Bread

This bread is soooo moist and just sweet enough. Delicious with coffee. These would taste amazing with a streusel top or cream cheese frosting, if you wanted it even sweeter, but I think it stands alone amazingly well.

Ingredients

• cooking spray
• 2 tablespoons water
• 2 tablespoons flaxseed meal
• 1 cup applesauce
• 1 cup loosely packed brown sugar
• ⅓ cup vegetable oil
• ¼ cup almond milk
• 2 cups pumpkin puree
• 2 ½ cups whole wheat flour
• 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ½ teaspoon sea salt

• ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
• 1 dash ground nutmeg

Cooking Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 2 loaf pans with cooking spray.
2. Combine water and flaxseed meal in a small bowl. Let stand until thickened, about 5 minutes.
3. Stir flaxseed mixture, applesauce, brown sugar, vegetable oil, and almond milk together in a bowl. Add pumpkin puree.
4. Mix whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, cardamom, cloves, and nutmeg together in a bowl. Blend in applesauce mixture. Divide batter between loaf pans.
