This Vegan Pumpkin Bread recipe is perfect for fall. It's easy-to-make, vegan-friendly, and great when paired with coffee or tea.

It’s the season for pumpkin-flavored everything and this Vegan Pumpkin Bread recipe does not disappoint. If you’re looking for something different to make other than banana bread, this is a great alternative. It’s good on its own, warmed up, with butter, or even with your favorite jam. The perfect Halloween treat that the whole family can enjoy.

Ingredient Notes: 

Flour & Egg Replacement: For this recipe, I used a handful of Bob’s Red Mill products because they are my favorite and I can always trust their quality ingredients to make great recipes like this one. I used their All-Purpose Flour and Egg Replacement. I usually have all these ingredients on-hand in my kitchen for baking. 

Their All-Purpose Flour is milled with the highest quality wheat in North America, their Almond Flour is a great gluten-free alternative and made with ground whole almonds, skins and all, for maximum health benefits. Then lastly, their egg replacement is so handy for us vegans. It’s super easy to use in the replacement of any egg in a recipe. I can always count on Bob’s for clean ingredients to use in my recipes. 

Pumpkin: Pumpkin is highly nutritious and is so versatile. It can be added into so many recipes, both for baking or cooking. Pumpkin is rich in vitamin A, antioxidants, full of vitamins that can boost your immunity, low calorie, has potassium, and fiber, and the list goes on and on. I love to roast up fresh pumpkin for salads, or throw puree into baking.

FAQ & Expert Tips: 

Swap Out Pumpkin: You can substitute half the pumpkin puree with half mashed banana if you prefer a banana flavor in your bread

Spices: If you don’t love the spice in pumpkin spice you can use as little as you like (or as much as you like). I just like it spicy!

Egg: If you’re not vegan, you can use a regular egg within this recipe versus egg replacement. 

Freezer-Friendly: You can freeze this up if you’d like. All you have to do is wrap it up well once it’s cooled and toss it in your freezer. When you’re ready to enjoy, let it thaw, and warm up your slice before eating to make it even better!

I wanted to bake something last night at 7pm. Something simple, fall flavoured, vegan, and DELICIOUS with the ingredients I had on hand. Thankfully, I remembered I had just come across this recipe! It checked ALL the boxes. I should have made two because it’s already half gone! This ones a winner! Thanks for creating, Maria.

Maria Koutsogiannis

Thank you so much for the love, Lauren! So glad you loved this recipe as much as we do!

A great recipe if you are looking for the sturdiness of a Starbucks loaf but the flavour of homemade. I made some substituions based on what I had on hand and they worked out perfect!

Maria Koutsogiannis

THIS MAKES ME SO HAPPY!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH GABRIELLE!

Maria Koutsogiannis

I find that pumpkin bread recipes often turn out too dense and gummy. This is not THAT. This pumpkin bread is super fluffy and the perfect texture. The brown sugar adds the perfect touch of molasses. I omitted the nutmeg and cloves and used a little pumpkin spice in it’s place and I may have added a bit more cinnamon and ginger than it calls for but it was amazing and had a great warmth from all the spices. This reminds me exactly of a delicious pumpkin loaf slice you would get at a cafe! I can’t wait to make this around the holidays!

Maria Koutsogiannis

Thank you so much for this wonderful review Hannah! This makes me so happy hun!

Maria Koutsogiannis

Sorry hun, it’s only been tested as stated in the recipe but it might work with the Bob’s Red Mill 1:1 Gluten Free Flour

Francesca Bragoli

Hi Maria,

This sounds delicious! Pumpkin puree isn’t something that’s easy to come by here in the UK, could I simply roast a pumpkin and make my own puree (cooled) as a substitute here?

Thanks!

Maria Koutsogiannis

Yes! That is exactly what you can do hun!
