Healthy Pumpkin Bread Recipe

| 1 Review

"I love pumpkin bread so much, I had to find a way to make it healthier. This one is lower in sodium (no salt), and one-quarter the fat of my traditional recipe, plus it's much higher in fiber... and deliciously moist! The whole-grain, coarse-grind cornmeal gives it a little crunch." — Food Fanatic

Substituted whole wheat pastry flour for the regular flour. Cornmeal sounds like a funny idea but it's not! Delicious.

The Raw Egg Risk

Safest Choice™ Eggs aren't just good for sunny side up or poached eggs. Consider all the recipes that feature raw eggs, like eggnog, Caesar salad dressing, raw cookie dough, custard and more. Take homemade ice cream, for example. Over a four-year period, more than 500 illnesses in the US were traced to Salmonella bacteria in homemade ice cream, according to the CDC. The ingredient at fault? Raw or undercooked eggs.
