How to Make Vegan Pumpkin Bread

Making this gluten free pumpkin bread is easy peasy. It’s the classic tale of adding wet ingredients to the dry. I’ll be honest, I’m always stocked up with Bob’s Red Meal products. For this recipe, I used Bob’s Red Mill oats, almond flour, brown rice flour and arrowroot starch- see, stocked up! If you are a gluten free baker, you know this is a good brand to stick with if you want your recipes to turn out!

So first things first. Prepare the flax egg first and get your coconut oil melted. Then combine all the wet ingredients together in a bowl and whisk until smooth. In a separate bowl, add all the dry ingredients together for this pumpkin bread. Whisk it all together until it is just combined. Then you know it. Add the wet ingredients for this vegan pumpkin bread to the dry. Stir, stir, stir. Line a loaf pan with parchment paper and dump that pumpkiny goodness right in. Bake in the oven for 33-35 minutes until the top is crisp (not burnt). Let it cool in the pan for at least ten minutes (super important) and then let this gluten free pumpkin bread cool completely out of the pan on a cooling rack. Then slice that vegan pumpkin loaf into BIG slices- because you deserve it.
