Ingredients

Pumpkin Bread

• 1 cup canned pumpkin

• 1 ripe banana

• 1/3 cup vegetable oil

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 1/2 cup non-dairy milk, unsweetened

• 2 1/2 tsp pumpkin spice

• 1/2 cup sugar

• 1/2 tsp baking soda

• 1 1/2 tsp baking powder

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF and prepare a loaf pan by lightly greasing with oil.

2. In a large bowl, whisk together the canned pumpkin and ripe banana until well combined. Add in the oil, non-dairy milk, vanilla extract, pumpkin spice, and sugar. Whisk together.

3. Sift in the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda and fold together into the batter until evenly combined. If using add-in's fold in a generous 1/4 cup raisins or dried cranberries and chopped walnuts.

4. Transfer the batter to the loaf pan and top with a few more sultanas and nuts. Place in the oven and bake for 50-55 minutes, or until you can poke the center with a toothpick and it comes out clean.

5. Allow the bread to cool before sliced and enjoying fresh. Leftover loaf can be transferred to an airtight container or you can cover the tin with plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator. Warm up a slice in the microwave for a few seconds the next day.
