Pumpkin Bread Light tricks:
Replacing sugar with Truvia Complete and adding some honey to boost flavor help great remove some of carboyarhates. Also by replacing over half of flour with King Arthers White Wheat Flour adding more complex carboyarhates, but still keeping 1/3 of unbleached flour for more structure. With all the changes made still tastes like good pumpkin bread. Making them in USA mini loaf pans helps keep portion size down, plus keeps bread more fresh. To preserve the freshness of bread wrap each loaf with plastic wrap then wrap with foil. These mini loafs can be frozen for up to 6 months without any flavor loss. The mini loafs defrost quickly rather than making them in a standard one pound loaf pan.
