Recipe Instructions

Next, follow the steps to finalize your dish and finally be able to enjoy it!
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a medium bowl, combine the whole wheat pastry flour, dry sweetener (organic cane sugar or other unrefined sweetener), baking powder, baking soda, salt, and spices and whisk well to combine. Set aside. In a larger bowl, add the pumpkin puree, soy milk, apple butter, aquafaba, maple syrup and almond butter. Combine thoroughly. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and fold together to combine well, but don't over mix or the bread will be tough. Gently fold in the nuts and cranberries/raisins. Place the batter in 4 mini loaf pans (3 by 5 1/2) lined with parchment paper (or sprayed with baking spray) and place walnuts halves on top, if desired. Bake at 375 degrees for 25-30 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. You can also use a larger pan, 8 1/2 by 4 1/2 inches, lined with parchment paper or sprayed, and bake for 50-60 minutes. Cool for 20 minutes and remove from pans. Cool and slice. Keep at room temperature the first day, then store in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Freeze if you need to keep it longer.
