Healthy Pumpkin Bread

I LOVE all things pumpkin! I was so excited to find a healthier version of pumpkin bread in Simply in Season. Worth the time and energy for sure! Must be eaten warm, with butter....

Nutty Pumpkin Bread

1 ½ c. flour (I used white wheat)

1 ½ c. whole wheat flour

1 c. wheat germ

1 cup sugar

1 cup brown sugar

2 t. baking soda

1 ½ t. salt

2 t. cinnamon

½ t. nutmeg and cloves

Mix together in a large bowl and make a well.

2 ½ c. pumpkin (cooked and pureed

4 eggs (lightly beaten)

½ c. oil

½ c. pecans or other nuts

1 c. raisins or dates (David doesn’t like them so I leave them out of his loaf J )

A handful of Dark Chocolate Chips (optional but oh so tasty! :)

Add into the well and mix just until all the dry ingredients are moistened. Pour batter into two greased 9 by 5 inch loaf pans (I use four mini ones. Of course, you could also make muffins too!) Bake at 350 for about 50 minutes. Cool in pan for 10 min.
