It's about that time again... Fall is by far the best time of year and always means (at least) one thing: pumpkin! Since I'm still in my healthy phase I somehow found a health/fitness blog where I came across this recipe. The deliciousness of pumpkin done healthy? Yes, please. The recipe is super easy but requires a few health food substitutes that you may or may not have lying around. While this is no chocolate pumpkin bread it's a great bar for breakfast and/or a snack.
You will need:
1 cup of pumpkin puree
1 egg
1 egg white
1/4 cup of unsweetened almond milk (try the trader joe's brand - will blow your mind!)
1/2 cup of sugar free maple syrup
1 1/2 cups of oatmeal
1 1/2 cup of whole wheat flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 1/2 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/2 teaspoon of a calorie free sweetener like splenda (I used truvia)
1 to 1 1/4 cup of dried cranberries (the original recipe called for raisins but I tend to think cranberries are better with pumpkin and in general)
First, combine and mix all of the dry ingredients (besides the cranberries).
In a seperate bowl, combine and mix the wet ingredients. While mixing, gradually add the wet mixture into the dry mixture.
Add the cranberries and stir to mix them in.
Pour batter into a 9x13 pan and put in the oven for about 20 minutes at 350 degrees.
Enjoy!
