Ok- so...
A friend of mine who is vegan says that she is going to convert me to vegan sandwiches, which I am a bit dubious on seeing as that seems to entail fake meat, and I'm thinking- why not just get lunch meat when it's cheaper anyway (besides moral reasons, obviously).
What does this have to do with baking? Well, as a trade she requested I make my pumpkin and/or butternut squash bread vegan so she can have some. And I though- heck, why not? At the worst I'll mess up a batch of bread and it will only be sort-of tasty, not really really good. And if I don't use eggs I can eat all the batter I want! Er... that is, those poor hens... (I've been getting my eggs locally and those things are pampered)
Anyway- I was thinking applesauce? I went on GoVeg.com and they suggested a banana and that sounds ridiculously good, too. Any experience or preferences from people who bake a lot?
Butternut squash bread. Here's the recipe that I use, though I modify it (less sugar, generally more squash, I did something funny with the baking soda by accident).
I could always experiment... maybe one with eggs as control, one with just applesauce, one with applesauce and banana, one with banana, one with nothing (pumpkin mentioned as a replacer). Hm... may need another pumpkin.
I don't have to worry about my sugar or something being vegan, do I? :sad:
