Sweet Pumpkin Bread


🎃🍞 Sweet Pumpkin Bread
“So good, even your kitchen will ask for seconds.”


🧁 Ingredients (Makes 1 glorious loaf)
• 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour (or spelt for that earthy flex)
• 1 tsp baking soda
• ½ tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp salt
• 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
• ½ tsp ground nutmeg
• ¼ tsp ground cloves (optional, but oof it hits)
• 1 cup pumpkin purée (NOT pumpkin pie filling)
• 2 large eggs
• ½ cup brown sugar
• ½ cup cane sugar or coconut sugar
• ½ cup neutral oil (like avocado or grapeseed)
• ¼ cup almond milk (or your fave plant milk)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
Joke break:
Why did the pumpkin bread start a band?
Because it already had a lot of jam sessions! 🎶😂


🔥 Instructions

  1. Preheat that oven like your heart on the first date, 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 9×5 loaf pan.
  2. Mix the dry crew:
    In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Smells like fall already, huh?
  3. Blend the sweet stuff:
    In another bowl, whisk the pumpkin purée, eggs, sugars, oil, milk, and vanilla until smooth and cozy-looking.
  4. Marry the bowls:
    Pour the wet into the dry and stir until just combined. Don’t overmix, we want bread, not chewy gym bars.
  5. Into the pan it goes:
    Pour into loaf pan. Tap it on the counter to pop air bubbles (or just to show it who’s boss).
  6. Bake to golden perfection:
    50–60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out mostly clean. Let it cool before slicing. (Or at least pretend to wait.)

🎃🍯 Optional Add-ins:
• ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans
• ½ cup dark chocolate chips
• Sprinkle of pumpkin seeds on top for that Instagram look
Joke break:
What did the cinnamon say to the pumpkin?
“We spice well together.” 🧡😎


🧈 Serving Suggestions:
• Toasted with a slather of vegan butter or cream cheese
• Cubed in a parfait with coconut whipped cream
• Sneak a slice for breakfast and call it “meal prep”


Final Punchline:
Why does pumpkin bread never tell secrets?
Because it’s already full of spice and everything nice. 🥄✨
