I found a pumpkin bread recipe that is even better than Heather's (sorry Heather!)! It has no apples in it, if apples give anyone trouble. Be sure to use Gerber 1st foods PRUNES, not plums with applesauce (otherwise it will not turn out well...trust me, I did it!). I love a lot of spice to my breads, so I increase the amount of spice a little. My kids can't believe it is low fat. Enjoy!
***AMAZING PUMPKIN BREAD***
2 tubs (5 oz. total) Gerber's 1st Foods babyfood Prunes
1/2 c. packed dark brown sugar
1/2 c. granulated white sugar
1 whole egg
2 egg whites
1/2 c. canned pumpkin
1 1/3 c. white flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. ground cloves
1/8 tsp. ground ginger
1/8 tsp. ground nutmeg
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly spray an 8 1/2 x 4 1/2" loaf pan with veg oil spray. In large bowl, mix baby food with the sugars until well blended. Beat in whole egg, egg whites, and pumpkin until just blended. In a smaller bowl, mix remaining ingred's. Add dry mixture to the pumpkin mixture until well blended. Pour into prepared pan. Bake for 1 hour, until pick inserted into center comes out clean. Yum!

can I cut out the prunes, or do I need to replace it with something?

You could probably replace it with applesauce.

Hi,
The prunes give it richness and a wonderful flavor. I tried using baby food plums with applesauce, and it was so bad I threw the bread out! I don't know what else you could use that would give the same depth of flavor as prunes. Sorry.

I made this last week, using less prunes and more pumpkin. I also added about 1/2 cup chopped walnuts. It was delicious! Great recipe!

I added another 1/2 cup of pumpkin. I also ended up using Egg Beaters because I didn't have any "real" eggs.

I used the amount equal to 1 whole egg and 2 eggs whites. If you go to the Eggbeaters website, they have a conversion chart for egg whites (the packaging/container only lists the whole egg equivalent).
