Update, 10/19/08: I left my squares in the fridge overnight, and the goo’s mostly congealed. Upon further reflection, I think I may have used too much egg substitute. The original recipe calls for six egg whites; I substituted for six whole eggs. So…maybe just use enough egg replacer for two to three eggs?

Either way, it’s super yummy.

Today’s VeganMoFo recipe was really good, so I’m crossposting over here. Now, if you’ll ’scuse me, I do believe I’m about to lapse into a sugar coma.

I’m too tired to write an introduction, so without further adieu, Pumpkin-Applesauce Squares, via Deseret News. Made with slight modifications, as explained below. Enjoy! (I sure did.)

Pumpkin-Applesauce Squares

Ingredients

Egg replacer for 6 eggs
1 cup unsweetened applesauce [I used fresh-out-of-the-pot pumpkin applesauce]
1 1/2 cups sugar [I reduced to 1 1/4 cups]
2 cups canned pumpkin
2 cups all-purpose flour [I used 2 cups wheat flour]
3 teaspoons low-sodium baking powder
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon allspice

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

2. Combine egg replacer, applesauce, sugar and pumpkin in a large bowl; mix thoroughly.

3. Mix flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, cloves and allspice in a separate bowl.

4. Combine flour mixture and applesauce-pumpkin mixture. Stir just until all ingredients are moistened.

5. Transfer to an 8- by 8-inch nonstick baking pan sprayed with vegetable spray. Bake until lightly browned, about 20 minutes. [I cooked at the same temp for about 35 minutes, yet the middle was still a little gooey, but good; perhaps it's supposed to be a little gooey?]

Allow to cool before serving. Makes 24 servings. [Um, I dunno wtf they're talking about here; was this recipe written by a garden gnome, maybe? I count 12 servings, tops.]
