Healthified Pumpkin Bread

Pumpkin bread is my favorite pumpkin recipe. It is so versatile that I can add some chocolate chips to the batter and have a dessert.  Or if I bake it without chocolate chips in it I can toast a thick slice for breakfast and eat it with a little butter on it or if I feel like splurging a nice layer of nutella!  I love a thick slice of it right out of the oven, you just can't beat that.  But pumpkin bread typically has loads of oil or butter and lots of sugar.  This recipe cuts down the fat and sugar and also adds in some whole grains.  You will love it!
