Full Time Rver on a plant based journey. Serving, cooking, going where the Lord leads.

1 ¾ cups (224g) spelt flour (this flour is what gives the perfect texture and moisture)

2 tablespoons (16g) cornstarch

2 teaspoons baking soda

½ teaspoon fine salt

¼ teaspoon ground black pepper (please see post why this is added, it does NOT make it spicy)

4 teaspoons pumpkin spice blend ¼ teaspoon cloves (SEE NOTE BELOW!)

¾ cup (240g) pure maple syrup

1 cup (240g) canned pumpkin puree

¼ cup (60g) canned "lite" coconut milk (shaken first, I love the Thai Kitchen brand)

2 ¼ teaspoons vanilla extract

subheading: NOTE:

The key to this loaf having the best flavor is the spices, of course. Pumpkin pie spice is a blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, ginger and cloves and is sold at most grocery stores in the baking/spice isle. If you want to use a store-bought blend, that is fine, but ADD an extra 1/4 teaspoon of ground cloves to the blend. As noted in the post, the secret to the best pumpkin bread flavor is that tiny bit extra of cloves. The store-bought blends don't have enough. OR, since some countries don't sell this, you can make your own. Also, I prefer the flavor of mine. For the best flavor, use my blend (I tailor-made it for this bread): Combine the following well with a fork and add to the recipe: 2 1/4 teaspoons cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves. You do not add an extra 1/4 tsp cloves to MY blend, just the 1/2 teaspoon. The key to this loaf having the best flavor is the spices, of course.

Of course, as always, I recommend highly to use a scale to prevent room for error. You don't need cups or to compare the weights to cups, just simply follow the weights listed, as this is exactly how the recipes are tested and made. Make sure to zero out before adding each ingredient.

I use this scale.
