Delight in this indulgent way to celebrate the fall season
(Contributed by a friend of ThyCa: Thyroid Cancer Survivors’ Association, Inc.)
Could there be a more perfect pumpkin preparation to celebrate autumn? We think not.
Ingredients:
6.5 oz egg whites, lightly beaten (For a vegan version, you can substitute canned coconut milk [6.5 fl oz, or a little more than 200 mL] in place of the egg whites, or use an egg replacement product [follow instructions on the box to substitute for the equivalent of 4 whole eggs])
1 cup canola oil
2 cups sugar
1 15-oz can 100% pure pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling)
3 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp non-iodized/non-sea salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp allspice
2/3 cup water
1 cup add-ins of choice (optional; chopped unsalted walnuts, LID-safe chocolate chips, raisins, dates, or a combination)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Grease three 2-lb loaf pans.
Combine egg whites (or coconut milk or the egg replacement), oil, sugar, and pumpkin in a bowl or mixer.
In a separate bowl, mix dry ingredients.
Add dry mixture to pumpkin mixture and blend in water.
Pour into prepared loaf pans and bake for 1 hour or until done.
