My son is allergic to eggs. I use to make pumpkin bread for him when he was a kid. He is very sick now and has asked me to find the recipe to make some. I think it may have been a bisquick recipe but am not sure. Could someone help me out with a pumpkin bread (eggless) recipe. Thanks.

Thank you for sharing such wonderful treasures with the rest of the world Indira. I have been visiting your website regularly for a while now and it seems to make me really appreciate the richness that food provide us. I quite enjoy the pictures of your cat as well. Thank you again for making time stop for a few minutes a day.

[…] When Indira of Mahanandi fame, baked this awesome Prune-Pecan bread, I felt compelled to try it out. And now that I did, it gave me the perfect reason to start blogging on my own domain. Talking of the new domain, after months of looking for the perfect (and available) domain name and booking a domain and cancelling it soon after because I didn’t like how it sounded, I finally have my own domain ” Blink and miss“. And there is not much logic behind the name frankly, I just like the way it sounds. The best moments and ideas are often transient, short-lived. Yes, I love the domain name. […]

Indira, I love the barley flour and the maple syrup in the cake. Looks fantastic! Happy Holidays and Happy New Year to you and your family.

Thank you all for your lovely comments. This is a nice and dense fruit bread/cake, perfect for winter holidays.

Padmaja: They are aluminum foil mini bread pans, available at dollar stores and wal-mart etc. fits about one to one and half cups of bread batter.

For comments with questions: This fruit-nut bread is adaptable to any taste. Instead of barley, all purpose flour, pecans, prunes, maple syrup, you could use -

whole wheat flour, cake flour, pancake flour, walnuts, almonds, cashews, hazelnuts, honey, cane sugar or molasses, and dates. Also you could add eggs and butter or cooking oil like peanut oil etc, in place of ghee and buttermilk.

They all work, follow the basic bread/cake recipe. Add the ingredients of your choice.
Happy fruit-nut bread/cake baking.:)

Indira,

I love breads with fruits and nuts. Looks yummy. I was wondering if I can use whole wheat flour instead of all purpose flour.

Indira,

The idea of barley flour makes this bread very interesting and ofcourse healthy. Ancestors have been wise in all civilizations…
