Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread

We’ve got the windows open, a nice breeze is blowin’ and we’re bakin’ up some yummy Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread!

It’s FINALLY made its way to Texas!  What, you ask?  FALL!!!!  

No, we don’t have any lovely fall foliage, no local apple orchard to visit for hot cider.  Our idea of a “pumpkin patch” is mountains of imported pumpkins stacked neatly on the grass at the Methodist church.  But, what we do have is temperatures UNDER 90 degrees….and for that, we are extremely thankful!   

We like to celebrate fall with Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread.  This is an easy recipe, great for breakfast, dessert or snack AND (here’s the best part) it makes TWO loaves!  With the holidays just around the corner that’s perfect…..one for now and one for the freezer.  Just take it out the night before and have instant breakfast for family or company.  They’ll be glad you did!  

Here’s the Recipe:

• 1 cup butter – melted
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 2 3/4 cup flour
• 4 eggs
• 1 large can pumpkin (not pie mix)
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp ground cloves
• 1 tsp ground nutmeg
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 cup chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 375

Coat 2 loaf pans with butter or non-stick cooking spray

Add melted butter, eggs and pumpkin to large bowl of stand mixer and beat thoroughly

Add sugars, baking soda, baking powder, salt and spices and beat until smooth

Add flour and beat until well combined

Stir in chocolate chips

Spoon into prepared loaf pans and bake about 1 hour or until toothpick inserted into center comes out clean

**6 mini-loaf pans can be used.  Reduce oven temp to 350 and check after 30 minutes 

Remove from oven and allow to cool on rack 10 minutes before removing from pan

If freezing…

Allow loaf to cool completely.  Wrap tightly with plastic wrap then aluminium foil.  Freeze until ready to use.
