Ingredients

  • 6 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 2 egg whites
  • BATTER:
  • 1 cup pumpkin
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1 egg
  • 2 egg whites
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/4 cups sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/3 cup chopped walnuts

Directions

  1. For filling, combine the cream cheese, sugar, flour and egg whites in a bowl; set aside. In a mixing bowl, beat the pumpkin, applesauce, egg, egg whites and oil. Combine the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and cloves; add to pumpkin mixture. Stir in walnuts.
  2. Divide half of the batter between two 8-in. x 4-in. x 2-in. loaf pans coated with nonstick cooking spray. Spread each with filling; top with remaining batter. Bake at 350 degrees F for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely. Refrigerate leftovers.
