Description

This is a very moist delicious bread that can be served to vegans and non-vegans. It freezes wonderfully. After bread cools completely, I slice it thickly, wrap two slices in aluminum foil, then in a freezer ziplock bag and throw it in the freezer until my next vegan arrives. To heat up, thaw bread, separate slices and warm in oven a few minutes.

Ingredients

Instructions

1 Cup Chopped Walnuts

3 1/2 Cups Flour

2 Cups packed Brown Sugar

2/3 Cups White Sugar

2 teaspoons Baking Soda

1 teaspoon Salt

1 teaspoon Ground Nutmeg

1 1/2 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon

2 Cups Pumpkin Puree

1 Cup Vegetable Oil

2/3 Cup Coconut Milk

2/3 cup Flaked Coconut

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour two 8"x4" loaf pans.
  • Spread walnuts in a single layer on an ungreased baking sheet. Toast in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly browned. Set aside to cool
  • In a large bowl, stir together the flour, brown sugar, white sugar, baking soada, salt, nutmeg and cinnamon. Add the pumpkin puree, oil, and coconut milk, and mix until all of the flour is absorbed. Fold in the flaked coconut and toasted walnuts. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans.
  • Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Remove from oven and cover loaves tightly with foil. Allow to steam for 10 minutes. Remove foil, and turn out onto a cooling rack. Tent loosely with the foil and allow to cool completely.

I have a recipe for homemade grape-nuts, but it uses milk I wonder if coconut milk would work equally well? It is great over yogurt and berries

Almond milk or rice milk are both also readily available - I use either one when dealing with lactose-free diets.

You're welcome!

By the way, vegans also won't eat honey. That leaves out most granolas.

We have a health food section at our grocery store and EVERY granola has whey in it, as do all the organic cereals, every last one!

When I lived in the NW I used to make the best muesli just from our local fred meyer.  We don't have those here, so I miss that!

 I believe "vegan" means there must be no ingredient from any animal which would be eggs or milk, etc.

Right?

I know this will sound dumb, but what is "vegan" about this recipe? The no eggs?

For any vegan recipe there can be no animal products at all. The best way I've heard it described is 'nothing that ever had a face.' Lots of recipes might already be 'vegan-ready' they were just never promoted that way!

no egg, no butter, no milk, and nothing that comes from an animal. A lot of vegan breads are really crumbly because of no eggs.
