 Here's the recipe, ladies and gents.  The original recipe asked for 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg but I prefer 1 teaspoon.  It needed that extra zing.  Oh, and I figured out why my bread tasted too mushy.  I put in the whole can of pumpkin instead of a cup!  LOL.. next time I know.

Enjoy!

Ingredients:
1 cup whole-wheat pastry flour
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 pinch salt
1/4 cup molasses
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1 cup canned pumpkin
1 egg
1/2 cup nonfat yogurt
1/4 cup canola oil
2 tablespoons shelled pumpkin seeds

Preheat oven to 350F.  Lightly spritz 9" x 5" loaf pan with vegetable-oil spray and set aside.

Combine both flours, baking powder/soda, spices and salt.  In another, whisk together the molasses, brown sugar, pumpkin, egg, yogurt, and oil.

Add wet ingredients to the dry and stir just to combine.

Pour batter and sprinkle pumpkin seeds on top.

Bake for 50 to 55 minutes.

That sounds like a REALLY good recipe purelife.  I like the pumkin seeds sprinkled on top. (I wonder what they'd be like caramelized....miam miam miam)    It's funny, I don't like pumpkin pie, but I like pumpkin loafs and muffins and also pumpkin soup.

My coworker also made it, followed it to a tee and it turned out wonderful.  It was moist, packed with flavour and wasn't at all sweet.

lol....yes Lil Me.  It was as close as I could get to what we used to do when we were kids.  We'd 'hhuhhhh' on our nails, and polish them on our shirt when we got a compliment.

Of course not, Lise.  I'm all about sharing.  Sharing is caring. ;)

  This would be a fun recipe to make with your kids too.   There aren't many recipes out there that turn out fantastic when you follow it to the tee.  This one is amazing if you love pumpkin.  

  ADD:  Wow, it looks great on your blog.  Now, I will never lose this recipe. :)))  I really like your idea of a recipe blog.
