Ingredients

1 1/2 cups canned pumpkin puree 1 15-oz can
1/2 cup water or nondairy milk (e.g., oat milk, soy milk, almond milk)
1/2 cup coconut sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice see notes for options
1 teaspoon baking soda

Optional: pepitas (green pumpkin seeds)

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350F (180C). Spray a 9x5-inch (22.5x12.5 cm) loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray (if you need complete absence of oil, use a parchment paper liner instead).
In.a large bowl, whisk the pumpkin puree, water, coconut sugar and vanilla until blended.
Add the buckwheat flour, flaxseed meal, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda and salt to the bowl; stir until completely blended and smooth.
Spread batter evenly in prepared pan, smoothing the top. Sprinkle top with pepitas, if using, gently pressing into surface of batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 42 to 46 minutes until risen, the surface of the bread appears dry, and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with only a few moist crumbs attached.
Cool the bread in the pan for 10 minutes before removing to a cooling rack. Cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Storage: Store the cooled pumpkin bread in an airtight container at cool room temperature for 2 days, the refrigerator for 1 week or the freezer for up to 6 months.

Sugar Options: An equal amount of brown sugar or natural cane sugar can be used in place of the coconut sugar.

Pumpkin Pie Spice Blend Option: In place of the 2 and 1/2 teaspoons of ready-made pumpkin pie spice called for in this recipe, you can use the following combination of spices: 1 and 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 3/4 teaspoon ground ginger, and 1/8 teaspoon each of nutmeg, cloves and allspice. You can vary the spices according to what you prefer and what you have on hand.
