CHEW THE RIGHT THING
BITE IT!
HG's Perfect Pumpkin Bread
Right Said Bread
After getting a BAZILLION requests for pumpkin bread, we figured it was
time to make some. And after EIGHT attempts, we got it just right. Try it and
see!
Ingredients:
One 15-oz. can pure pumpkin
1 1/4 cups whole-wheat flour
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup fat-free liquid egg substitute (like Original Egg Beaters)
1/2 cup Splenda No Calorie Sweetener (granulated)
1/4 cup brown sugar (not packed)
1/4 cup Ocean Spray Craisins Original Sweetened Dried Cranberries (or
regular raisins), 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
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large bowl, combine both types of flour, Splenda, brown sugar, baking
powder, cinnamon, salt, and pumpkin pie spice (in other words, all dry
ingredients except for the Craisins or raisins).
In a medium bowl, mix together pumpkin, egg substitute, and vanilla extract
(all the wet ingredients). Add this mixture to the bowl with the dry
ingredients, and stir until just blended.
Slowly sprinkle chopped Craisins or raisins into the batter, making sure they
don't all stick together, and mix to distribute them.
Spoon batter into a large loaf pan (about 9" X 5") sprayed with nonstick
spray. Bake for about 50 minutes, until the top of the loaf is firm to the
touch. (Bread may be moist inside. This doesn't mean it's undercooked.)
Allow to cool, and then cut into 8 slices. Enjoy!

minutes at 350 degrees, let cool, and enjoy!
FIGHT IT!
Pumpkin Bread, Average
Drop Dead Bread
Your standard pumpkin bread recipe is loaded with eggs, sugar, butter, too
many raisins, and sometimes even nuts... which means it's likely going to be
sky high in fat and calories. A slice of the stuff at Starbucks clocks in with
around 330 calories, 12g fat, and a measly 1g fiber (POINTS® value 7*).
Imagine pairing a piece of it with one of SB's fancy-schmancy seasonal hot
cocoas -- you don't wanna know how fattening THOSE are. (Pssst... HG
swaps for them comin' up soon!) And watch out if you live near a Caribou
Coffee... the pumpkin bread there weighs in with 430 calories and 22g fat
per slice (POINTS® value 10*). Eeeks! Instead of all that nonsense, bake up
a lovely loaf of our Perfect Pumpkin Bread over the weekend, and you'll
have delicious grab-n-go breakfasts for the whole week. Then you can stop
off for a Skinny Latte at The 'Bucks without even being tempted by the
pastry case. Lucky for you, we're solution-minded people.
