This vegan butternut bread makes the perfect fall treat. It requires just 15 minutes of active kitchen preparation + a handful of simple ingredients, and it\u2019s a total crowd-pleaser. Sweet enough to entice yet not so sweet that it can\u2019t be served up with a slather of vegan butter and jam for breakfast!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Vegan<\/p>\n

One of my friends recommended that I start watching the Great British Baking Show (GBBS), and I'm totally hooked. I like to think that I'm doing (highly enjoyable) research on baking techniques as I watch. I mean, that's exactly what I'm doing, right?<\/p>\n

Right.<\/p>\n

But really, truly it gets the wheels turning. I think about all the totally un-vegan goodies that deserve the chance to be veganized.<\/p>\n

Oh yes, and I'm also learning new British English adjectives and terminology. Words like\u00a0stodgy<\/i>,\u00a0sharp<\/em> (to describe something tart), and\u00a0brill<\/em> (short for brilliant).<\/p>\n

And also, it just really makes me crave sweets. Breads, puddings, cakes, cookies, meringues, pastries, pies, etc.<\/p>\n

So it should come as no surprise to you or me that much of my recipe brainstorming as of late has centered totally around baked goods. Love it or hate it, you have GBBS to thank.<\/p>\n

To make this simple one-bowl vegan butternut bread, you'll start with a flax egg.<\/p>\n

Whisk together a bit of ground flaxseed and some filtered water. Let the mixture rest for about five minutes, or until it thickens into a goopy, egg-like consistency.<\/p>\n

Then, whisk in the remaining wet ingredients, including butternut squash pur\u00e9e (you can find canned butternut pur\u00e9e at Trader Joe's), finely grated butternut squash, coconut sugar, grapeseed oil, maple syrup, and vanilla.<\/p>\n

Once the wet mixture is ready to go, get to work on the dry ingredients.<\/p>\n

Stir the dry ingredients, one by one, into the wet mixture.<\/p>\n

The batter (see above) will be thick and fluffy with a deep bronzy orange hue.<\/p>\n

Once the batter is ready, scoop it into a parchment-lined (or greased) loaf pan. If desired, sprinkle the surface with pepitas and hemp hearts for a bit of eye appeal.<\/p>\n

Bake for 50+ minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.<\/p>\n

Let the butternut bread cool in the pan for about 15 minutes and then transfer it to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.<\/p>\n

Then, slice and enjoy all on its own or with a slather of vegan butter and jam.<\/p>\n
