Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
• 5 tablespoons Water
• 1 cup Unsweetened pumpkin puree
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened plant-based milk (e.g., almond, oat, or soy)
• 0.25 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Pumpkin pie spice
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts) or sugar-free chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine the ground flaxseed and water. Stir well and let it sit for 5 minutes to thicken. This will act as a flax 'egg' substitute.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the unsweetened pumpkin puree, plant-based milk, applesauce, vanilla extract, and the thickened flaxseed mixture until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

In a separate medium bowl, sift together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

If using optional chopped nuts or sugar-free chocolate chips, gently fold them into the batter.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 10

Serve and enjoy your healthy vegan, sugar-free pumpkin bread!
