Vegan Fruited Pumpkin Bread with Walnut and Cranberry Recipe Video
The Pumpkin Flax Bread is quick to make, there is no rising. It is full of fiber, omega-3's from the flax and walnuts, and some vitamin C from the fresh cranberries. The flax and the other rising ingredients (baking soda, baking powder, and salt) are used in lieu of the eggs to help provide the necessary leavening and moisture. The bread is very moist! Flax has many beneficial health properties too! You can add more sugar if you would like it sweeter, a touch of molasses, or increase the spices if you want a little more kick.
