Egg substitute for pumpkin bread
In my experience, pumpkin puree is the best substitute to replace eggs in pumpkin bread.
When you make pumpkin purée, it can have too much water. Put the purée through a cheesecloth to remove the extra water. If there’s too much water then your cake might be wet or gummy and take a long time to dry out.
You can use that pumpkin water for other recipes like for making smoothies. If you boil it, you can make a thick syrup to use in your pumpkin purée. This way, nothing is wasted!
This pumpkin loaf cake is made with oil, which means you can mix the batter in a bowl quickly with a whisk or spoon. You don’t need to use the mixing method that requires creaming butter and sugar.
