Vegan squash bread!
Finally, after a ridiculous amount of trials (8!), I converted the original (vegetarian) recipe to vegan. Even after all that bread, I still like it, though I'm getting really sick of pumpkin and butternut squash. Omnivorous test subjects liked it a LOT. (Tell them after they eat it.)

1 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cups granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon: salt, cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 1/4 cups butternut squash, cooked
1/2 banana

Yeilds: 1 loaf or ~6 muffins


I have only tried it with fresh squash, so I don't know how it will do with something from a can.

Cook the squash until tender: I cut it into pieces, scooped out the seeds (good idea to save them to bake later) and then put it in a pot and steamed it for about 20 minutes until the squash is almost falling apart and the skin peels nicely.

In a separate bowl, add all the dry ingredients together, mix.

Add the wet ingredients and mix (for the banana I added it and then used a potato masher to squish that and any remaining chunks of squash and to mix it).

Pour into bread pans or muffin tins or whatever you want, making sure to grease before doing so.

Preheat oven 350 F.

Bake 350F for 55 minutes.

Note: The bread will remain wet! Do not cook much longer than 55 minutes as this just makes the bread get somewhat rubbery in consistency. And possibly burn. Only cook longer if it jiggles like Jell-O when you shake it. If you want it drier you can try adding more baking soda.
