Butterless Eggless Vegan Pumpkin Bread – Baking Partners Challenge: 17

Pumpkin festival is very famous in US. Halloween is the crazy festival in US. They were different costumes and enjoy a lot. During the month of October, they will make more carvings with pumpkins. When coming to the recipe, Swathi gave different bread recipes. For that I choose Vegan bread. The bread is soft and moist. Taste is awesome. Thank so much Swathi for sharing the recipe.
