Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (natural)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg (natural)
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves (natural)
Wet Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup plant-based Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
- 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
Optional Add-ins
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts
- 1/2 cup plant-based chocolate chips
Additional
- Natural gelling agent (as needed for vegan variation)
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your loaf pan. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves until evenly combined.
- Mix the Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, brown sugar, plant-based Greek yogurt, vanilla extract (natural), and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) until smooth.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Stir gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix to keep the bread light and tender.
- Add Optional Add-ins: Fold in chopped nuts or plant-based chocolate chips if desired, incorporating them evenly throughout the batter.
- Bake to Perfection: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 55 to 65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
- Use freshly ground cinnamon and nutmeg for intensified flavor.
- Mix ingredients just until combined to avoid tough bread.
- Use an oven thermometer to ensure consistent baking temperature.
- Allow the bread to cool fully before slicing to prevent crumbling.
- Use high-quality or homemade pumpkin puree for the best taste.
