Description
Vegan pumpkin bread! This is an egg-free pumpkin bread. No oil, no butter, just pure flavor. I love this bread toasted with a little butter or ghee or margarine.
Ingredients
- ½ sugar pumpkin, halved and seeded
- 1 teaspoon olive oil, or as needed
- ¼ cup chia seeds
- 1 cup hot water
- ⅓ cup crystallized sugar cane juice (such as Sucanat®)
- ¼ cup agave nectar
- 1 ½ cups spelt flour
- 1 cup brown rice flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon ground allspice
- ½ teaspoon ground cloves
- ½ cup walnuts
Directions
- 1. Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add pumpkin, cover, and steam until fully cooked, 35 to 45 minutes.
- 2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with olive oil.
- 3. Place chia seeds in a blender; add hot water and let sit for 5 minutes.
- 4. Scoop flesh out of pumpkin halves and add to blender. Add crystallized sugar cane juice and agave nectar to blender; blend until pumpkin mixture is very smooth.
- 5. Mix spelt flour, brown rice flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg, allspice, and cloves together in a bowl. Fold pumpkin mixture and walnuts into flour mixture until batter is just mixed; spoon into the prepared loaf pan.
- 6. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
