Hi
I just made this recipe.I halved it and baked it in 2 mini loaf pans for 32 minutes.After reading your notes,I increased the amount of liquid ingredients a little-added an extra 20 mls of apple sauce and about 2 teaspoons of oil.I also added double the amount opf flax .Inspite of all your warnings,I couldn’t resist cutting off one teeny slice to taste.The bread is very tasty-I like the subtle orange flavor.I also used orange flavored craisins..has anyone made this with fresh cranberries?Does it taste any different?Thanks for sharing.It’s a keeper!
Geetha

Thanks for trying it Geetha. I haven’t used orange flavored craisins, that sounds very delicious.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience, recipe and detailed notes about changes that one can make. I tried baking in the past without egg and it did not come out good, but your detailed notes are very helpful.
Here are changes that I made…

2 teaspoon of soda == 1 teaspoon of baking powder + 1 teaspoon of flaxseed (this is in addition to flax seed your recipe calls out).

I also added 1/2 cup of water

Thanks
Mona

You’re welcome Mona. The change you have made is good, I too will try it when using flax seed powder.

Tried it.. its a HIT!! made some changes though.. I used shortening in place of veg fat, didnt have oranges, so i used lemons and lemon juice. Did add some orange essence though. Its a very festive looking loaf! YUM!

That’s wonderful Kiran. Hope you like the taste too! Thanks for trying the recipe.

Hi,

your website is a great resource for eggless baking. I have yet to try anything, lets hope baby sleeps through the afternoon.. I’ll be trying this recipe then.

Thank you very much Kiran.

Madhu, I have whole wheat flor (not whole wheat pastry flour). Would that do?

Hi Deepa, saw your comment just now. Yes you could use 50% of each all purpose flour and whole wheat flour. Bake it for an extra 3-5 minutes. I would recommend you to try the carrot cake. It’s from Indira’s site and she uses banana for the egg substitute. I have baked it so many times and every time it comes out so well. I have tried it with wheat flour also and have not felt the difference in taste.

what is the flax seed mean and ground flax seeds – i have whole flaxseed which i grind in coffee blender – can it be used in place of flax seed meal ?

Flax seed meal, flax seed powder and ground flax seed all refer to grinding whole flaxseeds only. These 3 terms are being used in most of the vegan books and so I have also used it interchangeably.
