Pumpkin Bread
Filling:
6 oz reduced-fat cream cheese
1/4 cup Splenda
1 tbsp whole wheat flour
2 egg whites
Batter:
1 cup cooked or canned pumpkin
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 egg
2 egg whites
1 2/3 cups whole wheat flour
1 1/4 cups Splenda
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground cloves
For filling, combine the cream cheese, Splenda, flour and egg whites in a bowl – set aside. In a mixing bowl, beat the pumpkin, applesauce, egg, egg whites and oil. Combine the flour, Splenda, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and cloves; add to pumpkin mixture. Divide half of the batter between two 8 x 4 x 2 in. loaf pans coated with Pam. Spread each with filling – top with remaining batter. Bake at 350 for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
