Eggless Pumpkin Bread

This month the Baking partners decided on baking using Pumpkins - the fall vegetable. I can see so many different types of them - shape, size and color. I have seen so many recipes and pictures of spiced pumpkin breads and cakes, but never got a chance to bake one. Thanks to the Baking Partners, I finally baked this pumpkin bread. 

This is an eggless recipe which can be easily made vegan by replacing the honey with Maple syrup as the original recipe calls for. The bread turned out to be amazing and I see myself baking them again in future.

What you’ll need

1. All Purpose Flour – 1 cup
2. Whole Wheat Flour – ¾ cup
3. Baking Soda – 1 tsp
4. Baking Powder – ½ tsp
