Number of Servings: 16

Ingredients

    3/4 cup whole wheat flour
    1 cup spelt flour
    1 tsp baking soda
    1/2 tsp salt
    1 TBS cinnamon
    1/2 tsp ginger
    1/2 tsp cardamom
    1/4 tsp nutmeg
    1/4 tsp clove
    1 1/2 cup sugar
    1 tsp molasses
    1 banana, mashed
    8 oz pumpkin puree, fresh or canned.
    .5 tsp vanilla extract
    1/2 cup applesauce

    For the cinnamon swirl (optional)
    1/2 tsp. cinnamon
    1/4 tsp sugar

Tips

This was very moist. When using spelt flour it is advisable to reduce fluid content. I have removed about 1/4 cup of water from the original recipe (along with other changes) and found it is still very moist.


Directions

Line a 9x5 loaf pan with parchment paper.

Blend dry ingredients (WW flour, spelt flour, baking soda, salt, spices) Set aside.

Mix cinnamon swirl components, cinnamon and sugar, and set aside.

Using an electric mixer, blend the sugar, molasses, banana and pumpkin until smooth. Add in the eggs, applesauce and vanilla and mix at medium speed until smooth.

Add in the dry mix and blend thoroughly.

Pour half the mix into the loaf pan. sprinkle the cinnamon/sugar mix evenly across the surface. Top with the remaining batter.

Bake at 350 for an hour or more until a toothpick inserted in the center removes cleanly.

Cool on a wire rack.
