Naturally-Sweetened Pumpkin Bread

Naturally-Sweetened Pumpkin Bread

Ingredients

1 Ripe Banana, Mashed

1/3 Cup Olive Oil

1/4 Cup Honey

1 Cup Pumpkin Puree

2 tsp Vanilla Extract

1 Egg Replacer or 2 tsp Apple Cider Vinegar

2 1/2 tsp Pumpkin Spice

1/4 Cup Unsweetened, non-dairy milk

1 3/4 Cup Flour

1 tsp Baking Soda

1/2 tsp Salt

Optional toppings: Cinnamon, Sliced Almonds or Walnuts, Dried Cranberries

Directions

First, preheat the oven to 325ºF

Next, combine all the wet ingredients in a large mixing bowl (banana, oil, pumpkin, honey, milk, vanilla, egg replacer, and pumpkin spice)

In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt and whisk together or sift.

Then, gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, incorporating until the batter is smooth. There should be no clumps. This can be done by using a whisk or a hand mixer.

Once batter is smooth, lightly coat a bread baking pan with oil and sprinkle in flour. Knock out any extra flour and discard.

Use a rubber spatula to pour the entire batter mixture into the bread pan, place in the oven and bake for about 55 minutes.

The same recipe can be used to make pumpkin muffins! Just line a muffin pan with muffin papers or lightly grease with oil and bake for 25-35 minutes.
