Squash Tea Bread image

tasty bread for breakfast, a light snack or maybe even a dessert! I altered the recipe a bit to lighten it up (splenda and applesauce instead of sugar and oil) but think it still turns out quite yummy!

Time 1h45m

Yield 1 loaf, 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
3/4 cup squash puree (see Tip)
1/4 cup Splenda sugar substitute
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup applesauce
1 large egg
1 large egg white

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350°F Lightly oil and flour a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan.
  • 2. Whisk all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, salt, allspice and cloves in a medium bowl until combined.
  • 3. Beat squash puree, splenda, honey and applesauce in a large bowl with an electric mixer at medium speed until smooth, about 1 minute. Beat in egg and egg white. Turn off the mixer, add the dry ingredients and beat at low speed until combined. Scrape into the prepared loaf pan.
  • 4. Bake the bread until lightly browned and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 45 to 50 minutes. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack and let cool for 30 minutes more. Serve warm.
