the Happy Vegetarian

That’s the great thing about a recipe. You can add your own creativity, tweaking it to your own tastes until it is just right. As a recipe get passed from person to person, it evolves along the way.

I tried this pumpkin bread at a Halloween party made by the lovely Renee — and it was simply divine. Her secret? An epicurious recipe, but with double the spice and half white sugar, half brown sugar.

I prepared it following her instructions — plus added my own touches. Instead of 3 eggs, I used 3 tablespoons of ground flaxseed mixed with water as an egg-replacer. And instead of 3 cups of sugar — I used 1 cup white, 1 cup brown and 1 cup of unsweetened applesauce.

The result? A dense and moist pumpkin bread bursting with warming spices.
