super healthy pumpkin bread

i would have taken a picture of the actual bread but i ate both loaves to quickly. if you don't want the super healthy version & don't mind settling for the healthy version you just need to add some sugar. i think kristin recommends 1 & a half cups of sugar. this bread really is amazing folks!

super healthy pumpkin bread recipe:

- 3 1/2 whole wheat flour
- 1 1/2 tspoon salt
- 2 tspoon baking soda
- 4 tspoon nutmeg
- 4 tspoon cinnamon

mix dry ingredients together

- 2/3 cup water
- 1 cup apple sauce
- 4 egg beaters (or real eggs if you prefer)
- 1 can of pumpkin
- 1 cup of chopped walnuts

mix all ingredients together
spray pans (makes 2 pans) with pam & then dust pans with whole wheat flour
bake at 350 degrees for 1hr & 10 mins
now keep this stuff away from me because i'll eat it all immediately!

i think this is the same pumpkin bread i had last year the morning after the wine tasting and then pulled a "stan" and threw up an hour later in poor kearney's solara!

i'm sure i didn't ruin it for myself though, i'll give this recipe another shot....any excuse to use my kitchen aid mixer!

don't knock the pumpkin bread until you've tried it on a stomach that isn't full of 10 different types of wine.

Great recipe, Thanks!!
I used the "healthy" recipe with adding 1.5 C of sugar, also added a little vanilla and used pecans. Next time I will add shredded apples and maybe some raisins.

This may be a silly question, but when you say 1 can of pumpkin, do you mean the large 29oz Libby can or a 15oz can? Thanks so much!

use the 15oz can & be sure not use the can with added spices. we hope you enjoy.

i don't mind using whole eggs, so how many should i use? thanks! can't wait to try this recipe!

i apologize to all for the goof on the ingredient list. i meant "4 egg beaters", not "4 egg whites." of course you can use 4 real eggs if you prefer. i've updated the ingredient list for future reference.
