I have made this recipe multiple times since my grandma shared this recipe with me around Thanksgiving last year. It is my favorite baked pumpkin treat (PS – it is also VEGAN!)! It’s so easy to make PLUS it makes two loaves which makes it perfect to bring to family gatherings in the fall or to the office (I’ve brought it to both!). I’ll also let you in on a secret – it makes a MEAN french toast! I made some last fall for my husband with some chopped pecans on top and he approved – which he is quite the food critic, so when he approves, I’m happy!
Check out the recipe below:
Ingredients:
- 3 cups flour
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- 1 tsp nutmeg
- 2 tsp baking soda
- 1 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup vegetable oil (or coconut)
- 1 can of pumpkin puree
- 2/3 cup water
Directions:
- Preheat the over to 350 degrees
- Mix together all of the dry ingredients first
- Then, gradually add in the wet ingredients
- Grease two loaf pans
- Fill each pan evenly with the batter
- Bake for 55 minutes to an hour (until the inside is baked through when poked with a toothpick)
- Let cool for at least 10-15 minutes before popping out of the loaf pans
And the best part of this recipe, is getting to enjoy this delicious fall treat!
