It’s October and pumpkins are everywhere. In my kitchen I’ve been baking up delicious fall treats like this chai spice vegan pumpkin cake and vegan pumpkin pie. Today I have for you another pumpkin treat we simply cannot get enough of: vegan pumpkin bread with a maple coconut glaze. This is a simple recipe and quite foolproof. For a little extra deliciousness I stir coconut milk into the pumpkin bread batter. This not only helps keep the bread moist without too much oil but the coconut cuts through the slightly raw, bitter flavor of pumpkin that can turn some people off desserts made with this amazing veggie (my son, Jay, being one of those–he loves this bread!). I hope you will make this vegan pumpkin bread for your loved ones this holiday season. If you do, be sure to come back and let me know what you thought of it.
