I'll admit, this is a delicious pumpkin bread, I love it. I'll also agree that the fat has been significantly reduced, so it's more heart healthy. I am concerned, however, about the "diabetic friendly" designation, though. With two cups of sugar and all white refined flour, I can't see how a diabetic could safely eat it, in spite of the pumpkin.I reduced the sugar to 1 1/2 cups and used dark brown for the additional sweetness/flavor. I swapped the all purpose flour for white whole wheat and kept the cake flour.l It was still really good and much healthier for my diabetic BIL.

Very moist. Family loved it. Great sliced with a little cream cheese spread on it too :)

I was excited to see this recipe until I read the ingredients! I have to agree with Annie. How is this a healthy recipe? Over 2 cups of sugar, all white flour, and 4 eggs?? There is nothing low fat or healthy about this recipe. I will stick to my current recipe that is in fact low fat and healthy.

I'll be honest. This recipe is not that much, if any, lighter than the "un- light" recipe I use at home. Mine uses less flour, less sugar and only 3 eggs. Mine does call for more oil, but no buttermilk or applesauce. I would think cutting any recipe into 32 servings would slash calories no matter what the ingredients. I think it is misleading to call this recipe a makeover when it really is just the serving size that has been cut.

This is one of my favorite fall recipes! I made it so many times last fall and winter and was bummed when the season was over. I always keep a loaf and give one to a friend!
