1 Bowl Vegan Pumpkin Cornbread with a few ingredients. Spiced, lightly sweet and great with soups, chilis or on its own with vegan butter and maple syrup or make sandwiches with it. Vegan Soy-free Recipe. GF option

It is the season to plan winter meals and try out some holiday options to plan a menu! Lets start with this soft and delicious cornbread
This Pumpkin Cornbread comes together very quickly. The pumpkin and the spices add a wonderful flavor and moistness to it. Just a touch of maple to keep it lightly sweet. It is perfect to snack on as is, and also great made more sweeter or savory. For a sweeter version, add some sugar and add more pumpkin pie spice. Add dried fruit or other additions. For a savory cornbread, reduce the maple, add some garlic powder, nutritional yeast, herbs!
Serve it with chili, soups, or slice thin to make sandwiches. What’s your favorite way to eat cornbread?

I made a double recipe of this, the savory version. Baked in a 9×9 pan, maybe for 5 minutes extra to compensate for the larger size. It came out perfectly and was delicious. I will be baking it often. Thank you for this recipe.
