Vegan Pumpkin Walnut Bread

Pumpkin Bread. Ooooh, you’re a tough one to futz up. Pumpkin adds moisture and flavor that just won’t quit. When combined with plenty of spices, pumpkin bread becomes a treat that will stay fresh and moist for days and days. This version is sweetened with both brown sugar and maple syrup. I. Love. It.

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 cups white whole wheat flour or whole wheat flour… or just use only all-purpose flour
• 2 cups light brown sugar packed
• 1/3 cups granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon allspice
• 1/2 teaspoon cloves
• 1 15- ounce can pumpkin puree or just under two cups
• 1 cup vegetable oil
• 1/3 cup maple syrup
• 1/3 cup water
• 1 cup chopped walnuts

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place a rack in the center of the oven. Grease and flour two loaf pans (mine are 8x4x2) and set aside.
• In a large bowl, whisk together flours, sugars, baking soda, baking powder, salt and spices.
• In a medium bowl, carefully whisk together pumpkin puree, oil, maple syrup and water.
• Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and use a spatula to fold all of the ingredients together. Make sure to scrape the bottom of the bowl well, finding any stray flour bits to mix in. Fold in most of the chopped walnuts, reserving some to sprinkle on top of the batter once in the pan.
• Divide the dough between the two greased pans and sprinkle with a few walnut pieces. Bake for 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven. Let rest in the pans for 20 minutes, then invert onto a cooling rack.
• Serve warm. Maybe even wrap one loaf up in plastic wrap and store in the freezer for future munching.
