Easy Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread

 Easy Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread will be your new favorite once you try this recipe. I went searching for a recipe to make this deliciousness and of course found several. Ok, really, I found thousands,maybe millions of different recipes using these key ingredients. But I chose one from the 2005 edition of Taste of Home Annual Recipes and adapted it to what I had on hand and our tastes.

It’s funny, I love nuts, and I love bread and brownies, but I do not like nuts in my baked goods. So this recipe has no nuts added to it. You can make your own decision about nuts. I won’t get involved, promise. Also, I love chocolate and pumpkin together, so this might need a chocolate adjustment depending on your level of chocoholic tendencies. After tweaking and adjusting the recipe for the ingredients I had on hand, this is what I came up with. You can find the full recipe over on Homestead Scratch Cooking, Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread.

One thing I really like about this recipe is that it is so versatile. If you do like nuts in your baked good, you can add them in. If you are not able to eat chocolate, (I am so sorry) you can add craisins, raisins, or pretty much anything you like baked into a sweet bread. Another idea is to split the bread batter into three mini loaves and share the goodness with friends and neighbors, perfect for holiday gift giving. I have also made it using muffin tins and paper liners. Goodness packed into a small carry along size. Yes, the easy pumpkin chocolate chip bread batter is that easy and versatile.

Pumpkin Goes with Everything!

Pumpkins are one of my favorite vegetables. The different ways you can use a pumpkin, from decorating to baking to adding nutritional goodness to your pet’s food to eating in casseroles is limitless. Try adding some pumpkin puree to your next smoothie. Keep all the pumpkins as long as you can after Halloween, because they are a crop that keeps well when stored in a cool dry location. Maybe you will even be making Easy Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread during a January snow storm!
