Pumpkin Bread

Tried this new one for Thanksgiving, and it was a big hit, and very simple. I didn't tell anyone it was a "diet" recipe and no one noticed.
  • 15 oz can pure pumpkin
  • 1 1/4 c whole wheat flour
  • 1/4c all purpose flour
  • 1/2c Egg Beaters
  • 1/2c Splenda
  • 1/4c brown sugar
  • 1/4c dried cranberries (Craisins, etc.), chopped
  • 2 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/3 tsp pumpkin pie spice

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a large bowl, combine all the dry ingredients and spices (flour, Splenda, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and pumpkin pie spice). Make a well with the dry ingredients.

Add the pumpkin, egg beaters, and vanilla. Mix until blended. Sprinkle chopped Craisins into the batter and stir.

Spoon batter into a large loaf pan, sprayed with cooking spray. Bake for 50 min, or until the loaf is firm to the touch.

Yield: 8 servings, 2 points each (143 cal, .5 g fat, 4.5g fiber)
