Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free blend)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (natural)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg (natural)
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves (natural)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

Optional Variations & Add-ins

  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips or cocoa nibs
  • 1 tablespoon plant-based yogurt (for added moisture)
  • Additional cinnamon, cloves, or a pinch of cayenne pepper for extra spice

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Oven and Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour (or gluten-free blend), baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt. Set aside.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, vanilla extract (natural), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), and apple cider vinegar until smooth and well combined.
  4. Blend Wet and Dry Mixtures: Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently to avoid overmixing. Stop mixing once the ingredients are just combined to keep the bread light and fluffy.
  5. Bake the Bread: Pour the batter into your prepared pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the bread cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients to help the batter come together smoothly and bake evenly.
  • Do not overmix the batter to maintain a tender crumb.
  • Check doneness starting at 50 minutes as ovens vary.
  • Allow the bread to cool fully before slicing to set its texture.
  • Add a tablespoon of plant-based yogurt to boost moisture if desired.
