Lowfat Pumpkin Bread

Recipe from: Laura Ferguson Struempler

This was a recipe that Laura made with the rest of the BYU 110th Ward R.S. Presidency for all of the Relief Society sisters for Christmas.  The recipe came from Ana Lisa Hale, the R.S. president, who majored in nutrition at BYU.

1 cup applesauce
4 beaten eggs
2 cups canned pumpkin
3 cups sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. nutmeg
2 tsp. baking soda
3 1/2 cups flour
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 bag chocolate chips

Mix applesauce, eggs, and pumpkin for a few minutes.  Mix dry ingredients and add to pumpkin mixture.  Stir in chocolate chips.  Pour into loaf pans (2 large or 3 medium).  Bake at 350˚ for 1 hour (check center with a toothpick - it can take longer).  Cool completely and wrap each loaf in foil - it tastes best eaten the next day!
