Pumpkin Bread

Since my mother brought me a few cans of pumpkin from the States this summer I wanted to use one for a Thanksgiving week dessert. Voila, a moist flavorful pumpkin bread!  It is SO amazing and is a recipe I will make every year.  I eat my slices with a little butter and the salt from the butter mixes with the sweetness of the bread and it is to-die-for! 

Ingredients

• 1 1/3 cup sugar
• 1/3 cup vegan butter (I prefer Earth Balance)
• 1 flax egg (1 tbs ground flax seeds mixed with 3 tbs water)
• 3 tbs applesauce
• 1 can pumpkin pie mix
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 1/2 cup flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice
• 1/8 tsp salt
• 1/8 tsp ginger

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Mix the sugar and butter together until it is blended into a crumble.  Add the flax egg, applesauce, pumpkin pie mix, and water.
3. In a separate bowl combine the dry ingredients.
4. Mix the dry ingredients into the wet.
5. Grease your pans. I used three mini loaf pans.
6. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until cake tester comes out clean (may take longer if using regular sized pan).
7. Cut yourself a piece and share a piece with a friend!
