Pumpkin Apple Spice Bread (Vegan or Not)

Submitted by Lisa Clarice

"This is a wonderful pumpkin, apple spice bread! I give both vegan and regular baking option, but I bake this vegan because the banana makes it super moist. This recipe makes two loaves. One option is to make one loaf and then save half the batter for muffins. Bake muffins for 25 minutes at 350 degrees."

I made this recipe this morning and am really happy with the results! Instead of making two loaves of bread, I made 24 muffins. They came out very moist and were done in about 22- 25 minutes. <br/>I was a little surprised at the calorie count for this recipe, which is nearly 560 calories per serving! However, that's assuming that there are 8 servings in the recipe. By making muffins instead of loaves, I can manage the portioning better and reduce the calorie intake. Yummy!!

I haven't baked this (yet) but I was a happy eater of Lisa Clarice's vegan efforts. Super moist and tasty! Dense, yet soft with little nuggets of raisin-y goodness. Nice crumb topping too!
