How to make a pumpkin bread recipe without eggs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A typical pumpkin loaf cake recipe<\/a> would have eggs in it, but it turns out that canned pumpkin makes a great egg replacer, as do other fruit pur\u00e9es, like mashed banana in this eggless banana bread<\/a>. So you can actually easily make eggless pumpkin bread without changing much of anything and without having to resort to egg replacers, like chia eggs or flax eggs, among others. That's great news if you are looking for dairy-free or vegan fall desserts or recipes made with canned pumpkin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may notice holes in your cake<\/a> when you slice into it: these might form because the batter is thick and so gaps in the batter will occur as you fill the loaf pan. If you over-mix the batter, this could also cause larger holes in your cake, so please be sure to mix just enough to form a cohesive, even batter, but not so much that you develop too much gluten. You'll also want to make sure that you take the time to whisk together the dry ingredients so that the baking soda disperses evenly throughout the batter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Canned pumpkin versus homemade pumpkin pur\u00e9e<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Of course, if you feel like using your own homemade pumpkin pur\u00e9e<\/a>, instead of canned pumpkin, you absolutely can in this recipe. However, I do have one recommendation for you: strain your homemade pumpkin pur\u00e9e through a few layers of cheesecloth in order to remove some of the water because sometimes homemade pumpkin pur\u00e9e may have an excess of water in it, and that can lead to a wet or gummy cake that might take a very long time to dry out properly. Feel free to keep that pumpkin water for other recipes, like for making smoothies, or you can also boil it down to a very thick syrup to remove the water so that you can add back to the pumpkin pur\u00e9e. This way, nothing is wasted! I use the technique of boiling down the liquid with defrosted bananas to avoid letting the banana juice go to waste. If you go this route, make sure to save the seeds so that you can make a batch of toasted pumpkin seeds<\/a> to snack on later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Freshly<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Because this pumpkin loaf cake is vegan, the recipe calls for canola oil (or your favourite neutral-tasting oil), which means the batter for this pumpkin bread can be mixed in a bowl with a whisk or a wooden spoon, instead of having to resort to the creaming mixing method<\/a>. No mixer required here, which means this recipe is very easy to make because all you do is mix the ingredients together. Of course, if you prefer to bake with butter, a common baking substitution<\/a> would be to replace the canola oil with the same amount of melted butter (which works out to 58 grams of melted butter). That would work just fine too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a healthier pumpkin bread because it's made with less sugar than most loaf cakes of this size, which would have at least 200 grams (1 cup) of sugar. Reducing the sugar by 50 grams (\u00bc cup) allows us to make this recipe a little healthier, without impacting the texture of the bread or how moist it is. This is another example to show that baking with less sugar<\/a> is possible, just like with these blueberry bran muffins<\/a> and these hearty apple blackberry muffins<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This eggless pumpkin bread makes a flavourful loaf that makes great toast in the morning. I also like to slice the whole loaf and then freeze it. Then you can pull out a slice when you want it and toast it in your toaster. If you want to use maple syrup instead of the sugar, try this pumpkin bread with maple syrup<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
