Low Fat Poptarts

When I was in the cereal isle of Walmart, I came across these sitting with all the other Poptarts.. and I had to check a second time to make sure I read the box right, and sure enough it said Low Fat. Lol.So I had to pick them up. What I discovered was that these seem to have a more fluffy pastry, and more filling than normal poptarts. They're insanely good (aren't all poptarts?). So far I've seen them in Strawberry and Cinnamon and Brown Sugar. They also happen to be no more than 5% fat. :)

Now there are also Oatmeal ones, and they are at 8%... so if anyone is daring enough to test those out if you have Gallstones, please comment and let me know if you got an attack from them. I think they are pretty tasty as well.

Find these poptarts in a store near you!

Recipe: Pumpkin Pie Bread **Not low fat**

Ingredients:


3 1/2 cups of flour
3 cups of sugar
1 cup of vegetable oil (canola oil may be a good substitute?)
4 eggs (egg beaters can be used instead)
2 teaspoons of baking soda
1 teaspoon of baking powder
1 teaspoon of salt
1/2 cup of water
1 can (15oz) of pumpkin puree 


1 1/2 teaspoons of ground clove 
3 teaspoons of ground cinnamon        
     OR you can use instead of these two spices:
3 teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice




Directions:


1. In a large bowl, mix all the dry ingredients together well. 


2. In a medium bowl, mix the oil, water, eggs, and pumpkin puree.


3. Add the puree mixture to the dry mix and stir well.


4. Oil and flour 2 9x5 bread pans, and dispense the batter between the two evenly. 


Bake at 350 degrees for 60 to 80 minutes, or until you can insert a toothpick or knife in the center of each and have it come out clean.












Like the title states, this is not a low fat recipe and if you don't swap out the eggs and oil, I probably wouldn't eat it. I know that Canola spray oil has 0 fat, but I'm still a little weird about using oils at all with the gallstones. Not to mention I'm not sure how it would work out, using a spray oil instead of regular oils. So just be careful. But I cannot say just how delicious this bread is! So yummy!
