Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350ºF (180ºC) and grease a 9×5-inch (23×13 cm) loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

  • Add all the remaining ingredients (pumpkin puree, sugar, milk, oil, and vanilla extract) and gently stir until just combined, ensuring no flour pockets remain. Avoid over-mixing; some lumps are normal.

  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 55-60 minutes.

  • Insert a toothpick into the center of the loaf, and if it comes out clean, the loaf is done. If the top of the vegan pumpkin bread browns before the middle is fully done, cover it with foil.

  • Allow it to cool for 15 minutes before transferring it to a cooling rack and letting it cool completely.

Notes

  • Precise Measuring: Measuring accurately is the first step to better baking. Use measuring cups and spoons, or a scale.
  • Overmixing Awareness: Avoid overmixing the batter. Gentle stirring ensures a tender loaf with the ideal texture.
  • Precise Baking Time: Check the bread during the last few minutes. It's ready when a toothpick comes out clean from the center.
  • Cooling Time: Let the bread cool completely on a rack before slicing so the flavor and texture turn out just right.
  • Cracking is Okay: Don’t worry if the bread develops a crack on the top, this is normal for all quick bread. It’s simply the dough expanding.
