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. kristin recommends 1 1/2 cups of sugar. this bread really is amazing folks!super healthy pumpkin bread recipe:
- 3 1/2 cups: whole wheat flour
- 1 1/2 tspoons: salt
- 2 tspoons: baking soda
- 4 tspoons: nutmeg
- 4 tspoons: cinnamon
- 1 cup: chopped walnuts
mix dry ingredients together
- 2/3 cup: water
- 1 cup: apple sauce
- 4 egg beaters (or real eggs if you prefer)
- 1 can: pumpkin
- mix all ingredients together
- spray pans (makes 2 pans) with pam & then dust pans with whole wheat flour
- bake at 350 degrees for 1 hr & 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.
thank you so much, I was looking for a recipe just like this!!
do you have any good ones for Zucchini bread???
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.
To make a different variety of the healthy, I would suggest honey. Honey is all natural, less refined, and super duper delicious. You can usually get a similar sweetness with less.
I suggest wild flower over the clove, as it has more depth. It will also pair nicely with the pumpkin and the spices. Also, I recommend using cardamom with the nutmeg and cinnamon. It's a bit of a kick, but the honey will mellow it out. When I make homemade applesauce, I use honey and cardamom.
Honey makes breads brown faster, so drop the temperature 25 degrees.
I am so happy there are healthy recipes out there for this stuff. I think this will also work by substituting fresh butternut squash or acorn squash!
Can I substitute shredded apple instead of apple sauce ? If yes how much ?
Can I substitute fresh pumpkin (roasted maybe) instead of canned ?
Thanks
@Anonymous1 i think the honey was a great idea - thanks! agave nectar makes for a great substitute for some of the sugar also.
@Anonymous2 fresh is always better in my opinion. i would assume the ratio would be 1-to-1 for the canned options.
