Basic, Relatively Healthy Pumpkin Bread

3 1/2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
1 1/4 cups sugar
2 tablespoons baking powder
1/2 tablespoon salt
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1 can pumpkin puree
1 cup milk (any kind: soy, cow's, etc.)
1/2 cup applesauce, unsweetened
1/4 cup coconut oil
1/4 cup canola oil
1/4 cup molasses
1/2 cup pecans, toasted and chopped
whole pecans for decoration

Preheat oven to 400 F. Grease two loaf pans, six mini loaf pans, or two muffin tins.

Sift together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and spices. In a separate bowl, combine pumpkin, milk, oils, applesauce, and molasses. Mix wet ingredients into dry along with chopped pecans until just combined. Decorate tops of loaves or muffins with whole pecans, if desired.

Bake for 18-20 minutes (muffins), 30-40 minutes (mini loaves), or 40-50 minutes (full size loaves) until golden brown at edges, and knife stuck into center comes out clean.
