Vegan Whole Wheat Pumpkin Bread Minis

I served these Vegan Whole Wheat Pumpkin Bread Minis as part of a trio of desserts at my Halloween party, along with my Mini Treacle Tarts, and Jenni Field’s Vegan Treacle Tart Ice Cream.

But these little cakes are for more than Halloween. They would be at home at your Thanksgiving dessert buffet, a Magical Creatures party, or just with a nice cup of hot chocolate while you sit in front of the fire.

I love pumpkin and encourage you to stock up on cans of organic pumpkin while they are plentiful. Be sure to check for sales after Thanksgiving too. You may even be able to find a sale on whole pie pumpkins. You can cook as many as you want to make your own pumpkin puree and then freeze it in 1 1/2 cup portions.
