PUMPKIN 3-GINGER BREAD

Pumpkin 3-Ginger Bread image

This was inspired by Pumpkin Gingerbread to give credit where it's due. In an effort to make this a healthier snack, I use applesauce, egg whites, and whole wheat flour instead of oil, eggs, and regular flour. It's moist and delicious and hard to eat just one slice!

cooking spray
1 ½ cups white sugar
1 ½ cups firmly packed brown sugar

1 ½ teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground ginger

Steps:

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease four 8x4-inch loaf pans lightly with cooking spray.
Combine white sugar, brown sugar, applesauce, and egg whites in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until smooth. Add pumpkin puree, water, crystallized ginger, and fresh ginger; beat until well blended.
Mix whole wheat flour, baking soda, salt, ground ginger, cinnamon, allspice, cloves, and baking powder together in a bowl. Add to pumpkin mixture and beat until well blended. Divide batter among loaf pans.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 55 to 60 minutes.
