A while back I tried to "healthify" a banana bread recipe and it came out like a banana brick.
Last night I tried the same thing with a pumpkin bread recipe...
As I cut into the still warm loaf, I could tell right away from the density that it was going to be another "brick".
After tasting this heavy, non-sweet bread, I realized my mistakes.
"Did you go by the recipe?" Dave asked.
"Yes," I said, "sort of".
Dave-- laughing and groaning at the same time asked, "What did you do to it?".
"Not much" I said.
Truth be told, I cut the sugar amount in half while using Splenda instead of real sugar and I used egg beaters instead of real eggs. Other than that, I followed the recipe exactly. : )
Lest these two (yes, two!) non-sweet loaves should go to waste, I decided to sprinkle the top of my piece with some powdered sugar.
Not too bad...for a brick...

Looks good - why don't you kind of crumble it and pour a pudding over it - yum!
Powdered sugar will cure anything! I imagine it would be good dipped in coffee....like biscoti.
