    Sweet Dairy-Free Pumpkin Bread Made with Olive Oil

    For many people, pumpkin cravings set in when those jack o’lanterns first begin to appear, but for me, it isn’t until after Halloween that I catch the pumpkin bug. In my book, November 1st is the “official” beginning to the holiday season and if there was one food that I would equate to the holidays, it would be dairy-free pumpkin bread.

    Sweet Dairy-Free Pumpkin Bread Made with Olive Oil

    Every year my mom churned out dozens of mini pumpkin loaves to gift to friends and family. Our house (and freezer) were always filled with these little sweet bundles. Nonetheless, I do not have a classic dairy-free pumpkin bread recipe that I rely on year after year. Instead, I jump around testing whichever recipe catches my eye.

    One version that I baked so many years ago was this olive oil pumpkin bread from Olive Oil Desserts by Micki Sannar. This recipe is made without any dairy alternatives – just water and olive oil. Yet, it’s perfectly moist, rich with seamless flavor, and tastes as delicious as my mom’s recipe. Which is why I’m giving this sweet dairy-free pumpkin bread recipe a big update this year!

    Olive oil lends richness to this delicious loaf. But if you run out, don't worry, you can substitute another baking oil in a pinch!

      This is such a great recipe! I made a few substitutions for personal taste, specially, swapping the oil out for melted dairy free butter, using oat milk steeped in chia tea instead of water, and upping the spices. The loaf was tender and moist and cracked beautifully. I halved the recipe and it fit into a standard loaf pan well. My family loved it and I’m already making another loaf. Very considerate of the author to use the whole can of pumpkin in the original recipe. All around amazing! Thanks!

      This was by far the best recipe I have ever baked! I have been on a dairy and soy free diet for a month now due to my 4 month old having the allergy. Everything I eat passes through my milk so I have to be very careful. When I think dairy and soy free I think things wont taste as good but boy was I wrong. I have shared this with my Mom and neighbor. Now I can enjoy a holiday treat aling with everyone else:) Thank you so much for this wonderful recipe!

      Can you use honey in place of molasses, and maybe a different oil (like sunflower) considering I’m not the biggest olive oil fan?

      Reply
      • Alisa Fleming on August 17, 2014 7:42 pm

        Yes, you can use honey (will be just a hint sweeter) or maple syrup in place of the molasses and feel free to substitute your favorite baking oil for the olive oil. It shouldn’t negatively effect the results.
