Vegan Pumpkin Bread---YUM!!!

Within this posting you will find a vegan bread recipe that will benefit  your healthy eating.   With the holidays just around the corner I was determined to make some vegan dishes and desserts that my family will enjoy.  This pumpkin bread is so yummy and very moist.  It is a great addition to our vegan eating plan.
I know that you might be saying that you already have a pumpkin bread recipe however this recipe does not contain any eggs or dairy and is made with spelt flour.
This pumpkin bread is my favorite treat especially at this time of year.   It includes spelt flour, olive oil,  and honey as a few of the ingredients.  I hope you give it a try even if you are not vegan this  recipe will be great addition to your healthy eating plan.
