AMAZING VEGAN PUMPKIN BREAD
This bread is soooo moist and just sweet enough. Delicious with coffee. These would taste amazing with a streusel top or cream cheese frosting, if you wanted it even sweeter, but I think it stands alone amazingly well.

ARYN'S PRACTICALLY VEGAN PUMPKIN BREAD
This is my favorite loaf/muffin recipe that I concocted through trial and error trying to make a traditional pumpkin bread somewhat healthier. It produces very dense, delicious bread or muffins, which I like to eat warm with a spread of coconut oil instead of butter. I sometimes switch up the flours/brans/meals I use, and you can add raisins or shredded carrots, etc. for variety. I say practically vegan because I cannot guarantee that all the ingredients were made in a vegan-friendly way, though I presume they probably were. I am not vegan, but I like the idea of using flax instead of eggs since I eat so many eggs already. *I actually use 1/2 brown sugar and 1/2 xylitol, but since xylitol is not in the ingredient list here I put all brown sugar.

Tips:
- Use fresh pumpkin puree: Fresh pumpkin puree gives the bread a more intense flavor and a moist texture. If you don't have fresh puree, you can use canned pumpkin puree, but be sure to drain it well before using.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Let the bread cool completely before slicing: This will help the bread to hold its shape and prevent it from crumbling.
- Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature: The bread will keep for up to 3 days.
- Spice it up: Add a teaspoon of cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger to the batter for a more flavorful bread.
- Make it vegan: Use a flax egg instead of a chicken egg and non-dairy milk instead of regular milk to make this recipe vegan.
Conclusion:
Pumpkin bread is a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dessert. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With these tips, you can make the perfect pumpkin bread every time.
