My favorite thing about fall is the food, particularly pumpkin anything. I don't have a single pumpkin recipe on the blog and I knew that had to change. This Vegan Pumpkin Banana Bread with Olive oil and Spelt Flour is my first pumpkin bread recipe and it is amazing.
This is a healthier pumpkin bread recipe that still tastes incredible. I was shocked to see that the top pumpkin bread recipes have 2 cups of sugar, this bread has ¼ of that and is plenty sweet. To keep this bread vegan I used olive oil instead of butter and left out the egg. I like to bake with spelt flour because it is a whole grain and has more fiber than all purpose. It also yields a very similar texture to all purpose.
Let's get into the recipe.
