Texture: It is super soft, moist, fluffy with a bread-like texture. This can be sliced perfectly once cooled without being crumbly. 

Flavor: The pumpkin flavor goes well with the spice flavor. There is the right amount of cinnamon with just enough cloves, nutmeg and ginger. Because it wouldn’t be pumpkin bread without those autumn spices! 

Serving: Enjoy a slice of bread with your coffee or tea. Or you can enjoy as a dessert after a meal with a spread of apple butter or pumpkin butter on top. Or simply spread the regular butter on the warm slice.

🧾 Ingredient Notes For Eggless Pumpkin Bread

Here is the pic of the ingredients you’ll need to make deliciously moist eggfree pumpkin bread. All of them are easily available. Let’s see some notes on some of the ingredients.

Ingredients used in eggless pumpkin bread includes flour, sugar, spices, baking soda, oil, milk, pumpkin puree.
  • Pumpkin puree: I have used canned organic pumpkin puree (that is just pumpkin, no spices, sugar added). So make sure you get the pure pumpkin puree. Not sweetened or not pumpkin pie filling. You can use homemade pumpkin puree, but make sure that it is not too watery.
  • Dark brown sugar: When you measure it, make sure to pack it lightly.
  • Milk: It has to be full-fat whole milk. Now low fat or fat-free won’t work here.
  • Spices: I have used and measured individually four spices (Cinnamon, Nutmeg, Ginger, Cloves). For nutmeg, I prefer to grate the fresh nutmeg for fresh flavor. The rest are pre-ground store-bought spices. Don’t have individual spices, use ready 2 teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice.
  • Oil: Use any flavorless oil like canola, vegetable, corn, safflower oil. Oil gives moist crumb vs butter-made bread.

👩‍🍳 How To Make Pumpkin Bread Without Eggs?

1) Take dry ingredients (all purpose flour, baking soda, salt and spices) in a bowl.

11) Let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then loosen the sides using a butter knife and invert it into the wire rack. Let it cool down completely before slicing.

💭 Expert Tips For Eggless Pumpkin Bread

  • Measure your flour accurately: Spoon it into the measuring cup, leveling it off with the back of the butter knife. Never scoop & level. 
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing will develop the gluten and too much gluten will give your dense and chewy bread.
  • Make sure to use pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie filling which has added sugar and spices. And it makes your bread too sweet and overly spiced.
  • Generously grease the loaf pan to ensure the bread doesn’t stick to the pan. For being extra careful, you can line the bottom with parchment paper as well.
  • Variations: Try adding a handful of chocolate chip or nuts (like walnuts, pecans) to your no egg pumpkin bread.

🥣 Storage Instructions

  • At room temperature: If you are finishing it up quickly then store in an airtight container for up to 3 days (It depends on your weather, if you live in a hot, humid climate, please store in the refrigerator).
  • In the refrigerator: It stays good, fresh for up to a week. Trust me it won’t dry out even after storing in the fridge.
  • In the freezer: It stays good for up to 3 months. Wrap the individual slices using cling wrap and freeze into the freezer-safe ziplock bag. 
  • To thaw, let it sit in the refrigerator overnight. Once it is thawed, it should be eaten within 2 days. Or you can quickly defrost in the microwave by re-heating for few seconds intervals. The microwave defrosted bread should be consumed right away.

FAQs

What can I do with leftover pumpkin puree?

This recipe calls for 1 cup of puree and mostly you’ll find 15 oz can. So you’ll have little less than 1 cup left. You can make two loaves of this eggless pumpkin bread or freeze the bread slices. Or store the leftover puree in an airtight container in the refrigerator and use it in any other recipes within a week. Or freeze the puree in smaller batches (or ice cube tray) and store in a freezer-safe ziplock bag for up to 2 months, use as needed in the recipes.

Why is my bread not baked in the middle?

If you have used homemade pumpkin puree and it has too much liquid then it is possible that bread might not get cooked on time because of too much moisture. So make sure to use the thick pumpkin puree or strain the excess liquid before using in the recipe.
– By chance, it happens and the top starts to brown but the inside is not cooked then cover the pan with foil loosely and continue baking until done.
