Pumpkin Bread

[ksciba]

far too sweet for me.  Next time I'll add half the sugar and use unsweetened applesauce

i made this tonight and it was very good. i only had about
1/4 cup of applesauce, so i just added some extra pumpkin. thanks!

Amazing! This recipe turned out so great (I will post a picture later). It is light, fluffy, a perfect texture and density, which is where I often go wrong... I used only 1 cup sugar, no cloves, and also sprinkled some sunflower seeds on the top before baking for decoration. I love how this recipe is so simple, and not very unhealthy at all. I woke up this morning and made it around 8:30 so it would be ready for me to have some for breakfast.

I was wondering if anyone has sampled with any of the following:
-soymilk instead of water?
-hemp flour?
-even less than 1 cup sugar?
-molasses instead of sugar?

APPLELOVER:

I used soymilk instead of water (vanilla).

I didn't use hemp flour, but I did use 1/4 cup of molasses, and 3/4 a cup of sugar, and it turned out just fine.

In fact, it had a nice sweet taste, but not overly sweet.

Hope that helps.

Great recipe!  My modifications:

1. used 1/2 cup of agave nectar and 1/2 cup of maple syrup instead of any sugar
2. soymilk instead of water
3. added orange-infused dried and sweetened cranberries and walnuts

Was scrumptious!

It was a major hit at our potluck. Perfect spice amount. The applesauce coagulates and creates little apple chunks in the center. The only complaint was that it was too dense and rubbery. I let it cool, but it was too rubbery to cut it, almost like rubber jello.

Mmmm, this is really good! Smells gggreat too! The only problem I have with making bread is the pan I have. My bread never seems to rise or cook all the way! I can't figure out why, I have tried to make a wheat bread recipe before and had to throw it out because it just wouldn't cook and it ended up tasting terrible. Does anyone have any suggestions? Should I get a new pan? It was just a cheap pan I got at Wal-Mart one day, so that could be why.

Mmm.. I love pumpkin, and I'm dying to try this recipe, but I'd like to know if it's a good idea to make it with whole wheat? Even partly?

[healthymomma]

I always convert things to whole wheat pastry flour and it works well, keeping a very similar texture. Remember wwpf is made from a lighter wheat.  If you're hesitant, perhaps do half whole wheat, then see if you feel comfortable switching more next time. It will probably be more dense and you'll need more liquid.

Yum!  This is fantastic!  I didn't have applesauce, so I used homemade apple butter and then omitted the spices.  I also used 1/2 cup of maple syrup in place of the sugar and it is plenty sweet (probably because the apple butter was sweetened).  I put it into two mini loaf pans and sprinkled walnuts on top and one of them is going to my downstairs neighbor for his birthday!

i cooked it for 100 minutes and it never set in the center. I was really disappointed. Not sure what i did wrong. I followed the directions and measured everything. I did use silken tofu as my egg replacer, never had a problem with that in the past.
