What do ingredients do I need for this Skinny Pumpkin Bread?

Wheat, White All-Purpose Flour or Self Rising Flour:

After testing and making my base bread recipes a zillion times, I’ve been able to master the texture and taste.  I like to use self rising flour along with 1 tsp of baking powder, 1 tsp baking soda. The added baking powder and soda makes this loaf or muffins rise better and makes them nice and fluffy.  Now, there’s a fine line here-because too much baking powder or soda can cause the loaf or muffins to collapse and sink when removed from the oven. So, if that may happen-simply reduce or omit the 1 tsp baking powder and soda.  You could also use Wheat Flour or All-Purpose Flour.

The Gold Medal brand of self rising flour is 3 points less ( 1 1/2 cup for 16 points) than a generic self rising flour ( 1 1/2 cup for 19 points) which impacts the overall point value. If you use a different brand of self rising flour the point value is 2 points per serving regardless if you use unsweetened applesauce or light butter. 

Gluten-Free Flour:

If you are looking for a gluten free option, you can substitute the self rising flour for gluten free flour. 

Almond Flour:

If you are looking for a low carb option, you can substitute the self rising flour for Almond flour 

What sweetener to use?

I use Lakanto Classic Monkfuit Sweetener and Lakanto Golden Monkfruit Sweetener in my baking recipes. The Classic is a zero point white granulated sugar substitute and the the Golden is a zero point brown sugar substitute.  Lakanto MonkFruit Sweetener is a zero glycemic, zero calorie and all natural sugar substitute. It is by far the best tasting sugar alternative and has zero aftertaste or gritty texture like some of the sugar alternatives have. It has a 1:1 ratio to real sugar-so if you were to use a different sugar substitute you will want to use the measurement that would be equal to real sugar. If you use a different sugar alternative you’ll want to check the point value on the brand you use. They can vary in points. 

TASTES just like sugar | Zero net carbs, Zero calorie, Zero glycemic Sweetener

1:1 SUGAR REPLACEMENT | Lakanto has a perfect mix of monkfruit and erythritol to match the sweetness of sugar and maintain your baking and cooking needs

It’s WW FRIENDLY,  Keto, Diabetic, Candida, Paleo, Vegan, Low Carb, Low Sugar, NON-GMO, and All Natural

Unsweetened Applesauce or Light Butter:

How do I make this Skinny Pumpkin Bread?

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9X5 bread pan with nonstick cooking spray or 12 cup muffin tin. Set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk the self rising flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and mix together until combined. 

In a separate bowl combine, whisk the egg, granulated white sugar substitute, brown sugar substitute, vanilla extract, and pumpkin.

Mix until combined. 

Gradually add wet ingredients into the dry ingredients as you stir.

Before the two are completely incorporated add in melted butter or unsweetened applesauce.

Stir just until barely combined.

DO NOT OVER MIX. (The number one tip is to not over mix or it will ruin the texture)

Pour into prepared loaf pan or 12 cup muffin tin. 

Bake for 40-45 minutes if making loaf or 15-18 minutes if making muffins or until an inserted knife or toothpick comes out clean.

Remove from oven. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan or muffin tin.
