SPICED APPLESAUCE BREAD

Makes 12 Servings

1 Serving WITHOUT Nuts = 4 PointsPlus™

1 Serving WITH Nuts = 5 PointsPlus™

1 1/2 cups applesauce

3/4 cup Splenda granulated

1/4 cup vegetable oil

1/2 cup fat-free egg substitute

3 TBSP fat-free milk

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

1/4 tsp ground nutmeg

1/4 tsp ground allspice

1/4 tsp salt

1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional....see PointsPlus™ above)

Preheat oven to 350º. Spray 9x5" loaf pan with Pam for baking.

In a large bowl, combine applesauce, Splenda, oil, egg substitute and milk; beat well. Sift in the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice and salt; stir until smooth. Fold in pecans if desired. Pour batter into pan. Bake for 60 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool on wire rack.

MY SPIN: The only thing I changed was I added more cinnamon.....but I love cinnamon!!! And if you don't use the applesauce recipe above and use unsweetened applesauce in the bread recipe, use 1 cup of the Splenda granulated.
