Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground ginger
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1 cup Unsweetened pumpkin puree
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 2 large Egg whites
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Sugar-free sweetener (e.g., erythritol or stevia)
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or any low-fat milk alternative)
• 0.25 cup Chopped walnuts or pumpkin seeds (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, mix the pumpkin puree, unsweetened applesauce, egg whites, vanilla extract, sugar-free sweetener, and almond milk until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix—the batter should be slightly thick.

Step 5

If using walnuts or pumpkin seeds, gently fold them into the batter.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Slice and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
