Vegan Quinoa-Oat Pumpkin Bread
Today’s recipe is the perfect October baking project!
This Vegan Quinoa-Oat Pumpkin Bread is hearty, warming and goes perfectly with a mug of hot apple cider. I came up with this recipe as a healthier alternative for that 3pm (pumpkin flavored) sweets craving. This bread is packed with quinoa and oats so it’s full of protein and fiber, making it the perfect afternoon snack or fall breakfast.
Personally, I like my slices toasted and spread with coconut butter or vegan butter and topped with cinnamon.
