Pumpkin Cranberry Bread




Since pumpkins are in season you will see quite a few pumpkin recipes here.I love the taste of fresh but when I can't get fresh I use canned pumpkin. Delicious filling and healthy


Ingredients:

1+1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1+1/2 cups whole wheat flour.
1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
3 cups baking Splenda
2 cups fresh pumpkin or I can (15 ounces) LIBBY'S® 100% Pure Pumpkin
4 large eggs
1 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup orange juice or water
1 cup dried, fresh or frozen **cranberries

Directions:

PREHEAT oven to 350° F. Grease and flour two 9 x 5-inch loaf pans.

COMBINE flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda and salt in large bowl. Combine sugar, pumpkin, eggs, oil and juice in large mixer bowl; beat until just blended. Add pumpkin mixture to flour mixture; stir just until moistened. Fold in cranberries. Spoon batter into prepared loaf pans.

BAKE for 60 to 65 minutes or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pans on wire racks for 10 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely.

Recipe makes two loaves.

FOR THREE 8 x 4-INCH LOAF PANS:
PREPARE as above. Bake for 55 to 60 minutes.

FOR FIVE OR SIX 5 x 3-INCH MINI-LOAF PANS:
PREPARE as above. Bake for 50 to 55 minutes.

** You can try other fruits with this recipe. Get creative, mix in some nuts or mix in another fruit.

I can't find the correct amount of carbs for this recipe because I have adapted it so diabetics can have a slice of this tasty bread. Try not to eat more than one 1/2 inch slice at a time so as not to raise your blood sugar. One slice is a little less than 15g of carbs.
