Vegan and Gluten Free Pumpkin Bread

A vegan and gluten free pumpkin bread recipe. I admit, baking with vegan and gluten free ingredients could be hard. With a little patience and some experimentation, I was able to somewhat achieve the texture I was looking for. Not perfect of course but it will do for now.

1/2 cup coconut flour
1 tsp baking soda

1tsp cinnamon
1 cup brown sugar
1tsp vanilla
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
