Pumpkin Bread, and Weigh-in Day!

I've officially burned through my first batch of pumpkin candles, that I bought a few weeks ago. So instead of running off to buy more, I thought I'd fill my house with the cozy scent of pumpkin, by baking up some pumpkin bread. It worked like a charm, and was better then any candle. And you can't eat a candle.
Pumpkin Bread: 2. Candle: 0.

I had no motivation to do anything besides bake, and watch TV this evening. Luckily the little timer letting me know the bread was done baking went off right around supper time. So this deliciously moist pumpkin bread doubled as dinner and dessert. Score.

WHAT YOU NEED:

• 1/2 cup sugar free applesauce
• 1/2 cup of sugar
• 1/2 cup of packed brown sugar
• 2 eggs (beaten)
• 1 15oz can of pumpkin
• 1 1/2 cup of whole wheat pastry flour
• 1/4 tsp. of salt
• 1/2 tsp. of cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp. of nutmeg
• 1 tsp. of baking soda

WHAT YOU DO:

• Mix the applesauce and both of the sugars into a large bowl.
• Once mixed, stir in the beaten eggs and canned pumpkin. Add the remaining dry ingredients and mix thoroughly.
• Pour the batter into a greased bread pan.
• Bake at 350, for 40-50 min. Or until toothpick comes out clean

HERE'S WHAT I'M THINKING:

• Servings-7
• Serving size- 1 inch slice
• Calories per serving- 226

I sprinkled mine with some chopped pecans, and a light dusting of powder sugar. Heaven on a plate.
