"HEALTHY" PUMPKIN BREAD

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup mashed or canned pumpkin
1 cup apple sauce (no sugar added)
1/2 cup agave nectar (or maple syrup)
1/2 cup olive oil
2 eggs
1 cup all purpose flour
1/3 cup whole wheat flour (I use teff)
1/3 cup oat bran
1 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp all spice
1 pkg semi sweet chocolate chips (optional, but HIGHLY recommended)

Steps:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees, and grease whatever pan you will use. Next, mix together apple sauce, agave nectar, olive oil, eggs, in a stand mixer using the flat beater (or by hand) and let set. Next, whisk together dry ingredients in a seperate bowl. With the flat beater on a low setting, slowly mix the dry ingredients into the liquid mixture. Finally add the pumpkin, mix for a few moments more, and then the chocolate chips and mix a minute more. Pour into greased pan and cook for 20-25 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.
