Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, unsweetened applesauce, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix well until fully combined.
In another bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, and salt.
Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix as this will result in a denser bread.
If using, fold in the chopped walnuts until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve slices of this delicious sugar-free pumpkin bread on its own or with a spread of your choice.
