Peanut Butter Pumpkin Bread (Wheat Free!)
It's October and I'm in heaven. I have my never-ending stash of pureed pumpkin and I'm a happy girl. The only bad thing is that I found out, despite having read something different, pumpkin doesn't freeze well. In fact, I had to throw away three pounds of my pumpkin because it was ruined after I froze it. Sad.
Now I must go through my six pound cans of pumpkin within a week, because it really shouldn't be in the fridge for longer. I wanted to make a new pumpkin bread with all of my canned pumpkin, so I found this recipe and went to work. But of course, I didn't follow the recipe 100%, I never do. Here are my modifications: 3 cups of sugar ----> 1 cup of sugar & 2 cups of NuNaturals Baking Blend (more fiber, sugar free) 1 can pureed pumpkin ----> No change 4 eggs ----> No change 1 cup vegetable oil ----> 1 chose Smart Balance canola oil 3/4 cup water ----> vitamin water. HA! JK 2/3 cup peanut butter ----> SoyNut butter and PB&Co Cinnamon Raisin Swirl (review to come) 3 1/2 cups all purpose flour ----> brown rice flour (wheat free and gluten free) 2 tsp baking soda 1 1/2 tsp salt 1 tsp ground cinnamon 1 tsp ground nutmeg I also added walnuts on top. ![]() It's a good sign that your final product will taste amazing when you find yourself licking the batter bowl clean..... ![]() And of course, the final product did taste amazing. I could have very easily made more modifications, but I wanted this to be extremely moist. After all, I haven't had bread in a very long time and I was ready for some heaven in my mouth. Last night Nick said, "It's the best bread I've ever had". Wow, really Nick?! I'm flattered! ![]() Some Nutrition Info. (Serving size; 1/18 slice) 180 calories, 3 grams fiber Other Modifications I Could Have Made - 1 cup of egg beaters instead of 4 eggs - 4 T ground flaxseed + 3/4 cups water instead of 4 eggs - 1 1/2 cups Splenda sugar for baking, instead of 3 cups sugar - 1 cup applesauce instead of 1 cup canola oil Question: Can you think of any other possible modifications?
