9 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.

3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin purée, applesauce, and Splenda. Mix well until smooth.

4. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the wet mixture, and stir until fully incorporated.

5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Do not overmix.

6. Gently fold in the chopped cranberries and, if desired, the nuts.

7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly.

8. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

9. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
