super easy
Autumn is in full effect, here in New England. The air is crisp, the leaves are falling, the sun is setting earlier each day, and the squirrels are scurrying around gathering acorns for the winter. I am up before dawn, there isn’t anything in the house that I can feed my kiddo for breakfast, so what’s a girl to do? Throw on some spooky jazz music, sip on some pumpkin spice coffee (from Starbucks, of course) and try making this vegan pecan pumpkin bread recipe come to life in my kitchen.
How did I find the ingredients to make this recipe?
Magic, of course. I am not joking. The magic of coffee awoke my creative side and I scoured my kitchen cabinets in search of the perfect ingredients to bake this vegan pecan pumpkin bread. The only flour I had was spelt flour, so I decided to make this a healthy recipe. This is where the magic began…
The second, most important ingredient I found was….
Pumpkin
Have you ever Google searched recipes for pumpkin bread? I have, and let me tell you, I am a bit mortified at the lack of pumpkin used in most of the recipes I have found. Maybe I am being too critical. BUT it’s pumpkin bread, right? It should call for a lot of pumpkin, in my humble opinion. This ingredient is used to give the bread a ton of natural flavor and add some essential nutrients to your kiddos diet. Did you know pumpkin is loaded with antioxidants? Check out this article on it, here. The remaining ingredients are pretty basic baking essentials, so I won’t go into any great detail about them. I’d rather go outside and enjoy the weather. I implore you to do the same.
Welcome Fall
This blog post is short and sweet. Why? Because it is Fall and I need to get outside and enjoy the beautiful weather while it lasts. Did I mention I live in New England? We will be wearing mittens and snow boots pretty soon, braving the brutal temperatures that fall below zero; the kind that make your face burn upon existing the warmth of your home. This vegan pecan pumpkin bread will be a winner all winter long, so on those bitter cold days, we will be welcomed back into our warm home by the smell of this freshly baked pumpkin bread. And you can, too, if you choose to make this recipe. Make it and please, leave a comment below! I love hearing YOUR feedback.
