Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Spray two 9x5-inch loaf pans with nonstick spray.

Step 2

Mix dry ingredients together in a medium bowl and set aside.

Step 3

Beat eggs on medium-high speed for 3-4 minutes, until light-colored and fluffy. Add sugar and beat on high an additional minute.

Step 4

Add oil, applesauce, water, and pumpkin to the egg mixture and stir on low speed until combined. Stir in dry ingredients on low speed until just combined and no flour is visible.

Step 5

Divide the batter equally between the two loaf pan. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Allow bread to cool completely before removing and slicing.
