Velvet Pumpkin Bread

Serves 16; 1 slice per serving
The name says it all - this bread has a wonderful texture. And just wait until you smell it baking!
Vegetable oil spray
1 cup canned pumpkin
1/3 cup fat-free milk
Egg substitute equivalent to 2 eggs, or 2 large eggs, slightly beaten
2 tablespoons corn oil stick margarine
1 tablespoon canola or corn oil
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chopped pecans, dry-roasted
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly spray a 9' 5' 3-inch loaf pan with vegetable oil spray. Set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk together the pumpkin, milk, egg substitute, margarine, and oil. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt. Stir the remaining ingredients into the flour mixture. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture. Pour the pumpkin mixture all at once into the well. Stir until just moistened. Don't overmix. Pour the batter into the loaf pan. Bake for 1 hour, or until a cake tester or toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Turn out onto a cooling rack.
