Vegan Pumpkin Spice Bread

VeganFamilyChef's Note:

This is easy and delicious. Perfect with a cup of coffee for an afternoon pick-me-up. You can make it fat-free by substituting an additional 1/4 cup of applesauce for the oil, or use regular eggs instead of the egg-replacer if you don't need the recipe to be vegan. I got this recipe from Fatfree Vegan Kitchen. http://blog.fatfreevegan.com/2006/12/pumpkin-spice-bread.html

Took this too my daughter's school. The kids had a choice of two pumpkin breads and they liked this one better. They never knew it was vegan. 5 stars from the 3rd grade class. I did find I had to bake it a bit longer, but I just kept checking it with a toothpick until it was done.
