Pumpkin; the only flavor I consume from September to December. This bread is one of my favorites to date! I love me so lemon poppyseed or banana bread, but this pumpkin bread is next level ! Not gluten free or vegan this time, but still just as good. {Look out for that though}. I don't have much to say here, I feel like pumpkin bread kind of speaks for itself; it's a classic. Of course I added in some dairy free dark chocolate chips on top... I mean, what's a pumpkin bread without a little chocolate? This recipe uses maple syrup and coconut sugar as the sweetener, but it's not too sweet. The balance of sweetness and pumpkin spice is just right.
