Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup Brown sugar
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground ginger
• 1 cup Canned pumpkin puree
• 0.33 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 1 medium Apple (peeled and diced)
• 0.33 cup Plant-based milk (or regular milk for non-vegan)
• 0.25 cup Neutral vegetable oil (e.g., canola)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ground ginger.

Step 3

In another bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, applesauce, diced apple, plant-based or regular milk, oil, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 5

If using, fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans for added texture and flavor.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Slice and enjoy your Pumpkin Apple Spice Bread as is, or serve with a spread of vegan butter or maple syrup for extra decadence!
