This original Dairy Free Pumpkin Bread recipe was taken from my mother-in-law’s collection. It’s a simple quick bread made with canned pumpkin purée, chopped walnuts, and vegetable shortening in place of butter. The nuts add a pleasant crunch while the pumpkin keeps the loaf moist, making it a delightful dairy-free option for breakfast, snacks, or dessert — and it packs well for lunches.

It’s pumpkin season, and this Dairy Free Pumpkin Bread deserves a top spot on your baking list.
