love yourself first

Jeamaria started a cool vegan/egg substitute thread that inspired me to try a substitution tonight. I used 2 jiffy cornbread box mixes, 1/2 can organic pumpkin (15 oz can), 1 cup soy milk and 1/2 cup orange juice. Mixed together and baked at 400 degrees for 30 minutes, it came out great!

I am definitely motivated to try baking with applesauce and pumpkin instead of egg sometimes. I wonder how brownies might turn out. Anyone know?

When you say great, do you mean it had about the same texture as when made with egg? Did it taste all pumpkin-y?

I think the texture was pretty close. The bread came out moist with good flavor. Pumpkin was definitely one of the flavors but it didn't overwhelm or dominate the corn flavor. I would definitely try it again.

Oh, I forgot to mention that I stirred a bit of cinnamon in as well, about 1 tsp.

I'm not vegan, so eggs don't bother me, but I would love to cut out some of the vegetable oil required for pre-packaged desserts.

I saw a recipe for brownies once--you basically buy a box of devil's food cake (not brownie) mix and add a can of pumpkin. No eggs or oil or water. It's supposedly very hard to mix, but it should be fudgy and delicious once baked. I can't say I've had the guts to try it, though.

My sister makes this and I think it's pretty good. She cooks ALOT with pumpkin and I really can't ever tell anytime I've eaten at her house.
