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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Add Optional Add-ins: Fold in chopped nuts or plant-based chocolate chips if desired, incorporating them evenly throughout the batter.
  5. 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.
