Vegan Pumpkin Bread (Gluten-free)
Description
The Vegan Pumpkin Bread (Gluten-free) recipe features buckwheat flour blended with classic fall spices—cinnamon, ginger, and cloves—and pumpkin puree as the primary wet ingredient. Coconut oil adds fat, and maple syrup sweetens the bread naturally. Vanilla and water balance moisture, while apple cider vinegar reacts with baking soda to help the loaf rise and create a tender texture.
Baked at 350°F for about an hour, the loaf develops a rich, earthy flavor with subtle spice warmth. The crumb is soft and moist, reflecting the pumpkin's moisture and the oil's richness. Using buckwheat flour maintains gluten-free integrity with a slightly nutty taste.
Cool completely before slicing to set the texture properly. This bread suits breakfast or a snack, pairing well with spreads like nut butter or jam.
Ingredients
- 1 cup buckwheat flour
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon cloves ground
- 1/4 cup coconut oil , melted
- 6 Tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350F and line a standard loaf pan with parchment paper. (Not to be confused with wax paper!)
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the buckwheat flour, cinnamon, ginger, cloves and baking soda, then stir in the pumpkin puree, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla and water. Finally, add in the apple cider vinegar, which will help the loaf rise when it reacts with the baking soda.
- Transfer the batter to the lined loaf pan, and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake at 350F for 50-60 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow to cool completely before slicing and serving.
