Substitutions + Alternatives

Can I use All-Purpose Flour?

Yes, All-Purpose Flour can be used. Use the same amount that is listed in the ingredients, but swap with all purpose.

Can I use regular dairy?

Feel free to make this recipe your own. I use dairy-free milk, but feel welcome to choose your preferred dairy option without any recipe adjustments. Unless specified otherwise, you have the flexibility to use the milk of your choice for the recipe.

Note: While almond milk is an option, it is less preferred due to its liquid consistency. Consider opting for a milk alternative with a thicker texture.

How To Make Pumpkin Bread

  1. Preheat and Prep: Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a 9×5 inch bread pan with nonstick baking spray. (Note: An 8×4 inch pan can be used; bake time may be slightly longer.)
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, beat the sugar and eggs together for 3 minutes until well combined. Mix in the pumpkin puree and vanilla extract.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, pumpkin spice, kosher salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Stir in the melted coconut oil until the batter is smooth.
  5. Pour and Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared bread pan, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 65-75 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely before slicing.
  7. Topping: Top with Honey Cinnamon Butter for an irresistible and delicious treat!
