    Why Prune Puree Is Perfect For Moist Pumpkin Bread

    Okay, let's spill the tea on what makes this pumpkin bread super moist. Traditionally, eggs have been the go-to players in the "keep it moist" squad. But here's where it gets interesting: we're swapping those eggs for something a little unexpected: prune puree. Yes, you heard me right! Prune puree brings moisture and flavor to the party, like the superstar it is.

    You'll be amazed at how this simple switch takes your pumpkin bread to the next level, making it the moistest, most irresistible treat you've ever sunk your teeth into!
