Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup pure pumpkin puree
  • ¾ cup brown sugar (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon (natural)
  • ½ teaspoon nutmeg (natural)
  • ½ teaspoon ginger (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • ½ cup plant-based milk
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (natural)

Optional Add-ins

  • ¼ cup chopped smoked turkey bacon
  • ¼ cup chopped walnuts or pecans
  • ½ cup dairy-free chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon fresh orange zest
  • 2 tablespoons pumpkin seeds (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Prepare your ingredients: Gather and measure all ingredients. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, natural gelling agent, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger until the spice blend is evenly distributed.
  3. Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the pumpkin puree, plant-based milk, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, and apple cider vinegar until smooth and consistent.
  4. Bring it all together: Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, folding gently just until combined. Avoid overmixing to preserve the bread’s tender texture.
  5. Add optional ingredients: Fold in smoked turkey bacon, nuts, chocolate chips, or orange zest if using, to customize the flavor.
  6. Bake your bread: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle pumpkin seeds on top if desired. Bake for 55 to 65 minutes, testing with a toothpick inserted in the center to ensure it comes out clean. Let the bread cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • Use fresh pumpkin puree for the best flavor and texture.
  • Do not overmix the batter to avoid a dense bread.
  • Check your oven temperature with a thermometer for accurate baking.
  • Allow the bread to cool fully to enhance sliceability and flavor.
  • Adjust the amount of cinnamon and nutmeg to suit your taste preferences.
