hey y'all welcome back to Make It Dairy Free i'm Larisha and today we are going
to be showing you one of the first of many
vegan pumpkin recipes today we're going to be showing you vegan pumpkin bread
(upbeat music playing)
that's right move over banana bread there's a new kid in town and your fall
taste buds are gonna go bananas pun intended maybe look we have
been at home for a long time the pandemic started back in march and
suddenly everyone and their mom became banana bread experts well
it's time to become pumpkin bread experts no worries if you love banana
bread we do too and we have pretty much covered it all we have
traditional and strawberry and chocolate and
even made banana bread cinnamon rolls since we've been stuck at home but
we're not here to talk about that today we're here for the pumpkin if you love
pumpkin flavored things then you are going to love this vegan pumpkin bread
it is so soft so easy to make and so moist
we all love that word right we'll even give you tips on how to take it up a
notch whether that is adding vegan chocolate chips or nuts
like walnuts or pecans or pecans however you say it
or we'll even show you a recipe how to make a delicious streusel topping
and no worries if you are gluten-free or nut-free
we will show you tips on how to make it completely top 8 allergen friendly so
enough talking let's get right into it
this recipe is on repeat in the fall in our house simply because it's so darn
easy to make in a bowl you are going to start with
pumpkin puree and brown sugar then some coconut oil you could sub this
with another neutral oil or vegan butter or if you're oil free see the post about
tips on subbing with applesauce speaking of applesauce that goes in here
either way and then some vanilla extract give that a stir together with a spatula
until it's well combined you know it's well combined when it's
one uniform color and you don't see any dark brown streaks
then into a sifter we are adding flour baking powder and soda
and pumpkin pie spices we like adding our own combo instead of a pre-made mix
so that's cinnamon ginger cloves allspice and nutmeg and
then some salt using a sifter helps make this lighter
and fluffier bread and also helps the ingredients combine
together much better once you have all your ingredients sifted you are just
going to stir them very well together but just until it's mixed
you do not want to over mix this over mixing leads to a more dense bread and
none of us want that if you want to here you could gently
fold in some vegan chocolate chips chopped walnuts or pecans or both just a
tip that if you wanted to make this gluten-free we have a similar but
slightly different recipe that we will link in the description box below for
gluten-free vegan pumpkin bread pour your batter into a greased or
parchment-lined bread pan and then you are going to spread it out into one even
layer if you're making the streusel topping
then set the bread pan aside if you are skipping the streusel then
into the oven you go well not you but the bread into a small bowl
you need flour brown sugar cane sugar more pumpkin pie spices and
melted vegan butter blend that together with a fork until
you no longer see any flour remaining after that you are going to take the
fork and run it through until you have a crumbly wet sand type of texture
and then you are going to evenly put it on the top and then into the oven it
will go once it's done remove from the oven and
let cool for at least 20 minutes before you cut into it but
longer if possible i know it's tempting to eat it right away
trust us we've been there but the longer you let the steam naturally escape from
the bread the more moisture stays in your bread
and you don't end up with a drier bread once you slice it you can eat it as is
or grab our recipe for vegan maple cinnamon butter to spread it over top
we'll link it below if you are feeling generous you could
definitely make these into mini loaves and give to your family and friends
