What you'll need

  • 240 ml gluten free oat milk
  • 4 good quality tea bags
  • 240 g gluten free plain flour
  • 2 teaspoons xanthan gum
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ¾ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • A large pinch of ground cloves
  • 200 g brown sugar
  • 170 g tinned pumpkin puree
  • 120 ml melted coconut oil, plus more for brushing the pan
  • 2 large eggs , slightly beaten
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
For the icing:
  • 200 g vegan cream cheese
  • 125 g sifted icing sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
  • 4-6 tablespoons gluten free oat milk

Method:

 

  • Preheat the oven to 180°c. Grease an 8-cavity mini loaf tin; set aside.
  • In a small saucepan, scald milk. Remove from heat and add tea bags; cover and steep for 10-15 minutes.
  • In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients (from the flour to the cloves) and set aside.
  • Remove tea bags and press out any remaining liquid with a spoon. Whisk in sugar, pumpkin, coconut oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Add tea/egg mixture to flour mixture and stir to moisten.
  • Divide batter evenly among prepared cavities. Bake 20-25 minutes or until a tooth pick inserted in the centre comes out clean.
  • While the loaves are baking, make the icing. In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat vegan cream cheese until creamy. Gradually add in sifted icing sugar, beating until smooth. Add vanilla bean paste, and oat milk, a couple of tablespoons at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.
  • Drizzle over loaves.
  • Note you can also use an 8×4 inch loaf pan and make 1 big loaf. We would suggest keeping an eye on the loaf and cook for an extra 10-15minutes. If you are unsure whether it’s cooked, you can place a tooth pick through the middle, if its clean, it is cooked through.
