What people also ask about pumpkin bread.
Most baked pumpkin recipe that are not pie, such as this recipe call for using pumpkin puree. Pumpkin puree is made from "Sugar Pumpkins" rather than the larger carving pumpkins that are used for decorating purposes.
Sugar pumpkins are sweeter and contain more meat than a carving pumpkin.
It is the flavor of these pumpkins that make them perfect for baking with. You can still enjoy snacking on those baked seeds from the larger carving pumpkins however.
Baking recipes commonly call for pumpkin puree. Pumpkin puree is simply the meaty part of a baking or sugar pumpkin that has been cooked and pureed.
Pumpkin pie filling on the other hand, has additional ingredients added to it. These ingredients, such as sugar and seasonings, are added to make pumpkin pie filling a quick and easy ingredient to fill a pie crust with before baking.
Tips for making pumpkin bread with no eggs.
Pumpkin puree is an essential ingredient in this recipe as it provides flavor, texture, and color to the bread. I like to use a canned pumpkin puree that has no added ingredient in it (such as sugar).
Here are some more great tips for you.
- All purpose flour is used in this bread recipe. Feel free to sub in another flour, as long as it measures like all purpose flour, such as a gluten free all purpose flour or a whole wheat all purpose flour.
- I have added an optional vegan glaze that can be used to top this bread with. You can also add additional ingredients such as walnuts or raisins to make your bread even better.
- Oat milk is used in this recipe as a wet ingredient as it is preferred for the texture and flavor. You can use another vegan milk if desired however.
How to store dairy free pumpkin bread
Once your pumpkin bread has fully cooled you wrap it well (in foil or plastic wrap for example) or place it in an airtight container. If properly stored, this bread should keep for up to a few days at room temperature, refrigerated for up to a week, or up to a couple of months when frozen.
