  • 1 cup pumpkin purée
  • ¼ cup of unsweetened almond milk
  • ½ teaspoon of cinnamon

  6. Pour the batter into your prepared pan and sprinkle lightly with cinnamon.Bake for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean (typically, if I haven’t added any mix-ins, my bread is done at 50-55 minutes

  8. Then carefully remove it from the pan and let cool on the baking rack for about 20 minutes.
