Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread

Sweet and mild pumpkin flavors marry extremely well with smooth fresh melted chocolate embedded in moist bread that breaths with haunting notes of nutmeg. The seasonal flavors and aromas will let your family know that fall has arrived. What better way to warm the heart and soul this this time of the year than breaking delicious pumpkin bread with those you love. Add a cup of your favorite warm beverage (for me it’s coffee) and you are good to go.

Kickoff the baking season is best done in the company of the little ones that get extremely excited about the sweet reward. This recipe is simple and kid friendly. Check out the video before baking to see just how easy this delight is to make.

I prefer homemade pumpkin puree over store bought. It’s so easy to make and tastes oh so much better than the kind out of a can.
