This recipe can be multiplied by 2.

Bread will keep for 72 - 96 hours in a plastic bag. Reheat gently. This will freeze fairly well if sealed tightly in a plastic bag.

This recipe can be multiplied by two but must be cooked in two separate loaf pans.

1 large	egg yolk
1 tsp	light spread (like Promise Buttery Spread Light or Smart Balance Light)
2/3 cup	Splenda
1/2 tsp	pure vanilla extract
1 cup	canned pumpkin
3 large	egg whites
1/2 cup	dried pumpkin seeds
1 1/4 cups	all purpose white flour
3/4 cup	whole wheat flour
1/4 tsp	salt
2 tsp	baking powder
1/2 tsp	baking soda
1/2 tsp	ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp	ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp	ground allspice
1/4 tsp	ground cloves
1/4 cup	wheat germ
1/3 cup	non-fat buttermilk
2 tsp	light brown sugar

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 1 1/2 quart glass Pyrex oblong loaf pan with foil (non-stick foil works best).

Whisk the egg yolk until smooth. Add the reduced-fat spread and whisk together until smooth.

Whisk the canned pumkin into the mixture until smooth. Add the Splenda® and vanilla extract and whisk until smooth. Fold in the pumpkin seeds.

In separate bowl whisk the egg whites until they begin to be very frothy and white. Do not beat into stiff peaks.

Place the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, cloves and wheat germ in a sifter and sift into the mixing bowl.

Gently fold the creamed mixture together with the flour mixture. As soon as the mixture is well blended add the frothed egg whites and fold together until smooth.

Add the buttermilk and fold until smooth.

Pour the batter into the lined Pyrex dish and sprinkle the light brown sugar evenly over the top. Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven. Bake for 50 minutes.
