How to Make Low Sodium Low Fat Pumpkin Bread

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon salt, ¾ cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1 teaspoon baking powder.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree, ¼ cup unsweetened applesauce (in place of oil for reduced fat), 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground ginger, ½ teaspoon ground cloves, and ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg.
  4. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. If desired, gently fold in ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Start checking around the 50-minute mark.
  8. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
