Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp ground clove

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup canned pumpkin
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup (natural)
  • 1/2 cup plant-based yogurt
  • 1 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/3 cup neutral oil

Maple Glaze

  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup (natural)
  • 1–2 tbsp water
  • 1/2 tsp natural gelling agent

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ground clove until evenly combined. This dry mix ensures your spices and leaveners are spread out evenly throughout the bread.
  2. Combine the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, blend canned pumpkin, maple syrup (natural), plant-based yogurt, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, and neutral oil until smooth and creamy. This mixture gives you the rich base that will keep the bread moist and flavorful.
  3. Mix It All Together: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold together using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix; stopping as soon as the flour disappears will give you a tender loaf with the perfect crumb.
  4. Bake to Perfection: Transfer the batter to a greased loaf pan and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 50 to 60 minutes. Keep an eye on it towards the end, and test doneness with a toothpick it should come out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
  5. Prepare the Maple Glaze: While the bread cools for about 10 minutes, warm the pure maple syrup (natural) and dissolve the natural gelling agent in it with water. Brush this glaze generously over the top of the bread for that irresistible, glossy finish.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients: Blending at room temp helps the batter come together smoothly and bake evenly.
  • Don’t overmix: Stir gently to avoid a dense, tough bread.
  • Test your oven temperature: Make sure your oven is accurate for perfect baking every time.
  • Cool before glazing: Let the bread cool slightly so the glaze sets beautifully without melting away.
  • Customize spices: Adjust the spice level to your preference for a milder or bolder flavor.
