Add one and a half cups of flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and spices and mix well.
Add the dates and carrots and mix in. At this point, you can add 3 tablespoons of coconut flakes (optional) and mix in.
The batter should be pretty thick. If its not stiff, add more flour a tbsp at a time(moisture content in Canned pumpkin purees varies, you want a stiff thick batter)

Ingredients for Vegan Pumpkin Carrot Bread:

As sources of sweetness, I use a mix of maple syrup and sugar
As a source of fat, I use a neutral-tasting oil
1/2 cup non-dairy milk lightens up the batter just enough to give it the perfect texture
It would not be a pumpkin bread without pumpkin puree. You can use the canned stuff or make your own as long as you do not use pumpkin pie mix. That comes with a lot of additives and sugar we don’t need in here
Dry ingredients are flour, baking powder, soda, and then of course our favorite fall spices, pumpkin spice and cinnamon
Chopped dates add some chew and extra sweetness
Shredded carrots add extra moisture

Tips & Variations:

Pumpkin pie spice can be replaced with 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg, and ¼ teaspoon cloves
You could try and use spelt flour instead of all-purpose flour or whole wheat flour.
If you want to add a crunchy element, who’s stopping you from adding some chopped pecans, walnuts or pepitas?
You can use any other chopped or dried fruit in lieu of dates
To make this refined sugar-free, use coconut sugar
You can take this loaf to the next level by topping it with vegan cream cheese frosting or cashew cream frosting
