Today I am very thrilled to share the best vegan pumpkin bread with chocolate chips!
I have been loving and enjoying this kind of quick bread like the Vegan Banana Bread, Vegan Mango Bread, and Vegan Cucumber Bread.
Best egg substitute
Just like the other recipes, this vegan pumpkin bread is easy to make. But there is one thing you should remember about the aspect that makes it Vegan. “Flax Eggs”
How to make a flax egg
1 tbsp flax meal mixed well with 3 tbsp warm water. Leave to sit for a minute or so to become gloopy. (This is equal to 1 egg)
It is something you can prepare with flax meal that is readily available in any grocery store. That is the secret ingredient that brings the texture that we look for, in any bread.
Homemade fresh pumpkin puree is best!
Why homemade pumpkin puree is best because it gives freshness to the pumpkin bread and it is free from preservatives. Unless you buy pure or organic one.
Needless to say, the pumpkin flavor comes from the homemade pumpkin puree and all the other flavorful spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves. Apart from these, I also added a pinch of cardamom powder for an enhanced and sweet flavor.
Talking about sweetness, I added (dark) chocolate chips to the bread as the very last step when the batter is ready to be baked. If you have never tried Pumpkin flavor with dark chocolates, you need to experience it today!
Whisk or Blend
To prepare the batter of vegan pumpkin bread you can use a power blender like Blendtec or Vitamix (only to mix wet ingredients) or you could do it by hand like I did :)…Either way, you get a delightful and moist Vegan Pumpkin Bread that you will enjoy for several days.
Just be sure that you keep it stored in an airtight container. Refrigerate it and it will stay good for up to a week.
