I tasted the batter and it is even better than the batter I made yesterday for the pumpkin muffins I made. I had some extra batter so I made 3 muffins so we'll see how they taste!
Foolproof Pumpkin Bread--this recipe makes 2 loaves
http://vegweb.com/index.php?topic=5803.0
Ingredients:
3 1/2 cups flour (1/2 all-purpose, 1/2 whole wheat)
2 cups sugar
2 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon cloves--nope
1/4 teaspoon allspice--instead I used ginger
1 cup applesauce (or oil)--oil
2 cups canned pumpkin--homemade pumpkin puree
1/2-2/3 cup water--skipped
substitute equivalent of 4 eggs
1 cup chopped nuts (optional--I like pecans)--didn't use
Directions:
Mix flour, vegan sugar, salt, baking powder, and spices. Add pumpkin, apple sauce, water, egg substitute (I like Ener-G) and mix well. Add nuts if desired. Pour into a greased bread pan and bake for about 1 hr at 350 degrees.
It is important to make sure the batter is not too runny--if it is the bread will not bake completely! Can add more flour to soak up extra liquid or use less applesauce/water. I also like to add more baking powder to make the bread rise well. Enjoy!!
Preparation time: 1 1/2 hour
Final conclusion on the muffins: SUPER DARN TASTY! Even better than the muffins that I made yesterday. I only hope that Dusty's cake turns out as great. I might have overbaked it...who knows?!
Britney and I went to pick up David from the airport this afternoon and decided to give him a few festive surprises. First we picked him up together, it was supposed to be just Britney. Second, we wore our costumes! Britney was a ninja turtle and I was a butterfly in my red spandex unitard and some cardboard wings I made earlier this week. Third and lastly, we brought him this Halloweenee treat of two pumpkin muffins wrapped up!! I don't know how much he loved it but Britney and I sure enjoyed ourselves!!
