Heart Healthy Pumpkin Bread

My coworker made this most delicious Heart Healthy Pumpkin Bread and brought it to work to share with all of us. It was super delicious and upon taking a bite, you’d never know it’s as healthy as it is. There’s no butter and you’d never question it at how moist and seemingly buttery it tastes. 

Heart Healthy Pumpkin Bread

Ingredients

7 1/2 oz. canned pumpkin
2 large Eggland’s Best eggs
1/2 cup cinnamon applesauce
1/3 cup water
1 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

Prepare

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and prepare a 9×5 loaf pan.

2. In a large bowl, mix pumpkin puree, eggs, applesauce, water, and sugar.

3. In another bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, salt, and spices. When dry ingredients are evenly mixed, mix into the wet ingredients while stirring.

4. Stir only until no more dry ingredients can be seen, but take care not to over mix. Pour batter into pans.

5. Bake until a knife in the center comes out barely wet, or about 50 minutes.

6. Let sit in pan for 10 minutes and then remove.
