Awesome Pumpkin Bread � 2 or 3 points per large slice

1 and � Cups whole wheat flour
2/3 Cup sugar
1 and � tsp baking powder
� tsp baking soda
� tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp nutmeg
� Cup regular (not instant or quick cook) oats
1 Cup canned pureed pumpkin
1/3 Cup milk
1/3 Cup unsweetened applesauce
1 tsp vanilla extract
� Cup Egg Beaters or other egg substitute
� Cup raisins

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups, level with a knife.
Combine flour and the next 6 ingredients in a large bowl, stir to mix
well.  Then stir in the oats.
3. In another bowl, combine the remaining (wet) ingredients together
and mix well.  Add to flour/oats mixture and stir until just moist.
4. Spoon batter into a loaf pan coated with cooking spray (such as Pam).
5. Bake at 350 for 50-55 minutes, until a wooden pick inserted in the
center comes out clean.
6. Cool 15 minutes in pan or on a wire rack, then remove from pan and
cool completely before slicing.

This recipe yields one loaf, but is easily doubled.  The entire loaf
has 1570 calories, 6.5 g fat and 35 g fiber.  Translation:  if you
slice it into 8 slices, there 3 points per slice,  at 10 slices there
are 3 points per slice, and at 12 slices are 2 points per slice.

If you omit the raisins, you remove 180 calories from the loaf total
(fat and fiber content are the same) and there would now be 2 points
per 10 or 12 slice loaf, and 3 points per 8-slice loaf.

Enjoy!
