Ingredients

    ¾ cup all-purpose flour
    ¾ cup whole wheat flour
    ½ cup granulated Splenda
    ½ cup sugar
    ½ cup unsweetened applesauce
    1 ½ tsp baking soda
    1 cup canned pumpkin
    2 eggs, beaten (or egg substitute)
    ¼ cup water
    ½ tsp nutmeg
    ½ tsp allspice
    ½ tsp cinnamon
    ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
    1 cup dried cranberries, cherries, or raisins (optional)

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Generously coat a 9 x 5 x 6 loaf pan with cooking spray.

• Mix the pumpkin, eggs, water, applesauce, and spices together. Sift flour, salt, sugar/Splenda, and baking soda together in a separate bowl.

• Combine wet and dry ingredients. Mix well. Fold in the nuts/berries last.

• Pour the batter into the pan and bake for 50-60 minutes. If using a glass baking dish, oven should be set to 325 degrees and cooked 50-60 minutes. If the top of the loaf is browning too quickly, cover with aluminum foil for the last 10-15 minutes.

• When finished cooking, turn pumpkin bread upside down in pan to remove. It should come out easily. Let bread cool on a wire rack. For best results, let the pumpkin bread sit for several hours or overnight to let the flavors meld.

Note: If using an egg substitute, a tablespoon of vegetable oil should be added.

Also, calorie content is calculated using walnuts and no fruits/raisins. Using pecans or adding dried fruits/raisins will change the calories. Using an egg substitute will change the calorie content.
