Pumpkin Loaf

Pumpkin loaf is soft, warmly spiced, and made for slow moments. The pumpkin keeps it moist while cinnamon and nutmeg bring comfort without overpowering. It’s the kind of loaf that works just as well for breakfast as it does for an afternoon treat.

This is Let’s Veg baking that feels like home.
