SO HOW'D IT GO?

I made this for Thanksgiving, and everybody loved it! It was easy to make, and came out perfectly delicious. The only thing I would change the next time I make it is to add 1 cup sugar, b/c 1.5 c was too much sweetness. I love the addition of chocolate chips, too. I made these in 4 mini-loaf pans, and baked for about 50 minutes.

omg this recipe is soooo good!!  I changed it a little bit:
I only used 1 cup of sugar, i replaced the eggs with 1/4 cup of applesauce and an extra 1/4 cup of pumpkin.  I only used cinnamon and nutmeg for the spices. I also used 1/3 cup of soymilk instead of water.  To add to the sweetness and moisture, I added 2 heaping tablespoons of vegan apple butter.  The bread came out so moist!  I will definitely be making this many times over this holiday season!    ::)

Yummy!  I made this as muffins and gluten free by using a flour blend of rice, tapioca, corn, rice and garbanzo.  Also, substituted 1/2c agave & 1/2c maple syrup for the sugar.  It is a bit sweet and powerfully spicy for my taste but others like em fine.  thanks!  also used almond milk for water.

mmmmmmm, this bread is awesome! I only used a 1/2 cup of sugar with a 1/2 cup of cinnamon maple syrup and replaced the water with 1/3 cup of vanilla soy milk. I also added 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts. and used vegetable oil in place of melted margerine. I also used a whole can of pumpkin, which is more than a cup but it doesn't seem to have hurt it at all. it's moist and flavorful and I'm gonna have to go give some of it away so I don't eat the whole thing myself!  :D

I realize this comment is fairly useless, but I just wanted to say that I am so glad that you guys like the recipe.  It's based on a recipe my friend Trina gave me, so I can't really take credit for it.  Anyway, I don't know why it didn't rise for you nodaybut2day.  Maybe the 3/4c. extra pumpkin made it too heavy.  If you don't want to use Ener-G replacer, maybe try using soy yogurt (like 1/4c.?).  Or try adding something to leaven it... some baking powder (1t?).  Hope that helps!

And baypuppy, sorry for the confusion.  I always make 2 medium loaves.  I don't know what size the pans are exactly...  They're not mini-loaf pans, but they're not as large as the normal 9x 5 loaf pan.  Maybe like 3X8??  They're these really old 40-yr-old pans that belong to my mom.  Not knowing the dimensions, I call them "medium."  You're right though-- with the 9X5, it would only make one loaf.

happy baking to everyone!

:D SO deliciously I just made this bread. I made it into muffins. I used the variation of one cup sugar and then 1/3 soy milk instead of water. They are so awesome I want to eat them all. I will be making this again and again. So easy too!

I followed this recipe exactly and made muffins to bring to a potluck at my office.  They were a huge hit!  My boss even asked me if I had gotten them at a bakery.  My co-worker, who is also a strict vegetarian, and I sat back and chuckled that everyone wanted the vegan muffins at the very meaty chili & hotdog potluck!  The recipe made 18 regular-sized muffins, so next time, I think I'll double it.

Made this for my Halloween party by using mini muffin pans so they would be bite size.  Made plenty, although my roommates ate most of them before the party even started.  I used Baker's square chocolates and chopped them up with a knife so they would have big extra chocolaty chunks in them. Delicious!  All my desserts at the were vegan (even though only 2 or 3 of us are vegan) and the omnis couldn't get enough of them.  I love telling people that dessert they devoured was vegan, still have to remind them that doesn't make them healthy or low fat/

I made this tonight and it is very good.  I replaced the sugar with 1/2 cup of agave, and 1/2 cup of maple syrup.  It was nice, soft, moist, and oh so yummers!  Good recipe!
