I will truly try anything pumpkin as long as the nutrition information
is worth it to me (and trust me, there are pumpkin items that just are not
worth it to me). One of the items that
was worth it was this Bakers’ Corner
Quick Bread & Muffin Mix – Pumpkin. I had picked this box mix up at my local Aldi
store and stuck it into the cabinet. Yesterday, I was in the mood to bake
something since we didn’t have any baked goods in the house.
Deciding to skip the eggs and oil the boxed mix called for I
opted to experiment with a handy dandy can of Diet Fresca. Diet soda works
wonders in cake mix, so I thought why wouldn’t it work wonders in a pumpkin bread
mix? I added in almost the whole can of
soda (minus, what would probably be 2 sips) and stirred it all up. I added the contents to a Pam sprayed loaf pan
and baked it off for 50 minutes.
The cake came out perfect. Moist and delicious – although I
will say this is more spiced pumpkin than regular pumpkin. You can definitely taste the spiciness in it
because it’s right up there in the forefront. It’s not as spicy as other
pumpkin desserts can be (such as spiced pumpkin pie) but it’s definitely noticeable.
Since I made the bread with soda, a slice (1/12th)
was only 130 calories or 3 points plus values.
QUESTION:
Do you like experimenting with baking?
