Yes, I'm baking today.

GINGERPUMPKINBREAD

Blend together in mixing bowl, with a whisk:
1/2 c. nonfat sour cream
1/2 c. unsweetened applesauce
1/2 c. pumpkin puree
2 T. molasses
1 T. fresh minced ginger

In separate bowl, combine dry ingredients:
3/4 c. whole wheat flour
3/4 c. oats, ground fine
1 T. ground ginger
2 tsp. cinnamon
2/3 tsp. cloves
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. real salt
1 scoop Designer Whey Vanilla

Gently combine dry with wet ingredients just til moistened.

Bake in glass dish coated with nonstick spray. Bake about 30 minutes at 350 til center is set. I didn't bake mine quite long enough, and had to nuke it for 3 minutes on HIGH to get the center to cook. LOL, guess I was anxious.

Makes 8 squares.

This sounds fantastic. Wonder if it would work as well with non-fat Greek yogurt instead of the sour cream? Thanks so much for sharing.

Yep, Greek plain yogurt and sour cream are interchangeable.

I'm feeding this to the kids for lunch, topped with sliced peaches and vanilla yogurt.

It should be a dessert! It's phenomenal. I'll never make a different gingerbread recipe again. Tweaking Successful.

What is and where do you find whey vanilla? Can something be substitud for it if I can't find it?

It's a powder made from whey (the liquidy stuff you can drain off cultured milk [yogurt]). There are a bazillion kinds out there. You can make this recipe omitting the powder; I only used it to boost the protein of each slice of cake.

I use Designer Whey French Vanilla; it's 18g protein per scoop and 100 calories. Sweetened with stevia leaf. I buy it from The Vitamin Shoppe in bulk :happy: It's an amazing smoothie, soup, and baking enhancer if you want an extra punch of protein in your otherwise "too-carb-y" foods. Helps me feel a little better about having a warm piece of CARBS, that, and knowing it'll power me through a run in a half-hour!

not-so-covert bump! :blushing: :bigsmile: These moist cake squares are seriously mouth-watering! I hope more of you enjoy them. I love finding something new to make...

Yep, Greek plain yogurt and sour cream are interchangeable.

I just tried out your recipe tonight! made a few adjustments. I subbed plain non-fat greek yogurt for sour cream, added a tsp of vanilla and 2 tablespoons wheat germ, it seemed too thick so I added 3 tblsp pure maple syrup. Roasted a small pie pumpkin while I was working out, by the time I was done I had cooked squash perfect for puree. I ground my own oats...not fine enough...the bread came out looking very hearty. We are utilizing all self-control to not slice into it tonight. We're going to try it out for a pre-hiking/during hiking snack tomorrow morning!

Assuming 8 servings: Calories: 144; Carbs: 30; Fat: 1; Protein: 5

sweetened apple sauce (they didn't have natural at our corner store) and maple syrup upped the carb count...not too bad.

Can't wait to try this in the AM!

ohhhhh, maple syrup...... Great idea! Methinks the additional carbs are easily dismissible for the wonderful flavor.

I'm making this again today and just might add some wheat germ and maple.... nom nom nom

Another thing you could do - if you JUST want the maple flavor - is use a maple extract instead of the syrup? And then you could drizzle a teaspoon of pure syrup over your warm gingerbread instead. Save the carbs for the topping. *drool*

I grind my own oats too -- it's not as fine as flour, a little coarser, like meal. I liked the texture. I can't believe this recipe is so low on fat and sugar but so spicy and addictive anyway...
