Hi Everyone!
This fall weather has me in the mood for pumpkin bread.
Since my bariatric surgery, regular pumpkin bread is not on the menu, so created this version for hubby and I. It turned out very tasty, so I thought I would share. :)
This is the pan I used. Love my Kitchen Aid mini loaf pan!
You could use a regular loaf pan or cupcake pan if you don't have a mini loaf pan.
Trudy's Protein Pumpkin Nut Bread
Ingredients:
- 1 (15
oz.) can pumpkin puree (not pie filling)
- 1 c.
Splenda (or other non-calorie sweetener)
- 1/4 c. Torani Brown
Sugar Cinnamon syrup
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp.
pure Madagascar Bourbon vanilla extract
- 1 tsp.
butter vanilla emulsion
- 1 tsp.
pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2
tsp. cinnamon
- 1 c.
low carb baking mix (I use Carbquick)
- 1/3 c.
vanilla protein powder (I use Isopure)
- 1 tsp.
baking soda
- 1/2
tsp. salt
- 1 cup
chopped walnuts or pecans
Directions:
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees or 325 for dark non-stick
cookware.
In a large mixing bowl,
combine pumpkin, sweetener, syrup, eggs, and flavorings Mix on medium speed for about 1
minute scraping bowl mid way.
Sift baking mix, spices,
protein powder, baking soda, and salt directly into pumpkin mixture.
Mix just until well
blended.
Add nuts and blend just
until incorporated.
*Spray a mini-loaf pan
with non-stick cooking spray (I use Baker's Joy)
Scoop equal amounts of
the batter into each mini loaf, and spread evenly.
Bake at 350 for about
20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out with a moist crumb. Allow
to cool thoroughly before removing mini-loaves.
Wrap each loaf
individually and refrigerate until ready to eat.
*If you don't have mini
loaf pans, you may also use a full-sized loaf pan or a cupcake pans.
