We love pumpkin and that’s an understatement. While most are despising fall flavors coming out so soon, I’m celebrating it! There’s just something about the aroma of pumpkin spice in the house, and this one bowl one-hour vegan pumpkin bread is not only delicious but the aroma it leaves behind is amazing!

I also love this pumpkin bread because it’s just sweet enough without too much sugar. The whole loaf is only sweetened by just 6 tablespoons of maple syrup. No artificial sweeteners, no sugar alcohols, just that! And I love moist and dense loafs. This was perfect, it reminded me of a pumpkin with a bit of brownie texture (if you don’t know me, you should know, I LOVE batter/dough and I don’t know how people prefer the outside of the brownies to the inside. :P). This vegan pumpkin bread is not that bad, but it sure has great texture, and I also discovered after recipe testing that my raising agents are all expired, so they are less airy than they would be with fresh. Live and learn, right!

What you’ll love about this one hour one bowl vegan pumpkin bread?

  1. It’s healthy! How often can you say a dessert bread is healthy? Well this one is a good source of fiber, and is light on sweetener. You can even serve this to kids without guilt.
  2. It’s easy to make. Just dirty up one bowl and a few measuring utensils. Not 5 mixing bowls and the mixer and everything else under the sun.
  3. It only takes an hour from start to finish. And most of that time is spent in the oven so you can multi-task. I’m all for stuff that you start and can walk away from for a few minutes. This is one of those desserts.

How to make this one-bowl one-hour vegan pumpkin bread?

  1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Mix all the wet ingredients in a large mixing bowl. If the coconut oil is not melted, make sure to melt it, and you also want your ingredients at room temperature. 
  2. Once they’re well incorporated, mix in the baking soda. Then stir in the salt and spices.
  3. After it’s all incorporated, finally fold in the flour. Be careful not to overmix or it can get tough. 
  4. Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan and then place in the oven. Bake for 40-45 minutes. Remove and check that it is done. A toothpick should come out clean if you stick it in the center.
  5. Cool to room temperature, slice, and enjoy! Cover and store leftovers at room temperature for 2 days or up to 5 in the fridge.
