There is a funny story behind this warm and chocolatey vegan pumpkin bread. A few weeks ago, I went up to visit my family’s farm in Georgia. It was one of those perfect fall days and I was craving something freshly baked, chocolatey, and pumpkin-y. I decided to create a new vegan chocolate pumpkin bread recipe for everyone. I mixed all of the ingredients together in a bowl and baked it in the oven. About halfway through baking my vegan pumpkin bread … I realized I had forgotten to add the vegan butter to the batter. Oops! When it was done baking, we couldn’t believe how good it was! Everyone gobbled it up and no one could tell that I forgot the butter. The first bread was so delicious, we couldn’t resist trying it again with vegan butter this time! You guessed it, even better with the vegan butter!! While vegan butter does make everything better … honestly, they were both so delicious that we could hardly tell the difference! Both versions are listed below.

Here are some tips for this vegan chocolate pumpkin bread recipe:
