Directions

  1. Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add pumpkin, cover, and steam until fully cooked, 35 to 45 minutes.

  2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with olive oil.

  3. Place chia seeds in a blender, add hot water and let sit for 5 minutes.

  4. Scoop flesh out of pumpkin halves and add to blender. Add crystallized sugar cane juice and agave nectar to blender, blend until pumpkin mixture is very smooth.

  5. Mix spelt flour, brown rice flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg, allspice, and cloves together in a bowl. Fold pumpkin mixture and walnuts into flour mixture until batter is just mixed, spoon into the prepared loaf pan.

  6. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.

Recipe Note

Vegan pumpkin bread! This is an egg-free pumpkin bread. No oil, no butter, just pure flavor. I love this bread toasted with a little butter or ghee or margarine.
