Low-Fat Pumpkin Bread

Yield: serves 10-12

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup oatmeal
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2½ teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • ½ cup sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1¼ cups pumpkin puree
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup milk
  • Instructions

    1. Preheat oven to 350 F and grease and flour a 9″ x 5″ loaf pan. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, oatmeal, baking powder, salt and pumpkin pie spice.

    2. In a large bowl, combine sugars, eggs, pumpkin puree and vanilla extract, whisking until smooth. Using a spatula, stir in half of the flour mixture, followed by the milk. Then stir in the remaining flour mixture, mixing just until no streaks of flour are visible — remember, be careful not over-mix here. Pour into your prepared pan.

    3. Bake for 50-55 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with only a few moist crumbs attached.
