Vegan Pumpkin Bread

The fact that this Vegan Pumpkin bread is egg-free, dairy-free, and oil-free makes it a healthy vegan recipe.
When I mention Vegan Pumpkin Bread most people go eeewww! After one taste though, they are pleasantly surprised by the good flavor. It’s a popular bread to give as a gift as well as to serve guests. I usually bring it every fall, when pumpkins are at their peak, to my Monday morning volunteer group
