Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread

10/05/2016



As soon as September rolled around my kids have been going pumpkin crazy!  What is it about this squash that makes us insane for it as soon as the first leaf falls from the tree?  I have so far made pumpkin pancakes, pumpkin waffles, pumpkin cookies and now chocolate chip pumpkin bread.  It was my turn to take Friday breakfast to the kids in Logan's Early Morning Seminary class. (Read more about the class HERE)  And I had Plenty of pumpkin puree so I made this recipe x 4 and made loaves, mini muffins to surprise Gemma's Preschool class and mini loaves.  Needless to say, I had an extremely productive morning!  This recipe makes very moist bread and muffins.  It was definitely a hit with all of the kiddos.  Enjoy your week and all things pumpkin this fall season.

Love,

Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread

Ingredients

2 C all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp pumpkin pie seasoning

1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 (15oz.) can pumpkin puree

4 eggs, beaten
1 1/4 C vegetable oil
2 cups granulated sugar
2 (3oz.) pkg. cook and serve vanilla pudding
1 1/2 C semi-sweet chocolate chips


Directions

Preheat oven to 350F.  In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, pumpkin pie seasoning and salt.  Set aside.
In the bowl of your electric mixer or large mixing bowl, combine eggs, oil and pumpkin puree.  Next add sugar and pudding and mix until completely combined. Now slowly add the flour mixture.  Do not over mix, it will make the bread tough.  Lastly fold in chocolate chips.
Spray two 9" loaf pans with non-stick cooking spray.  Then pour 1/2 the batter into each loaf pan.
Bake at 350F for 60 minutes or until tester placed into center of loaf comes out clean.  
Allow bread to cool completely before removing from pans.
This recipe can also be made into muffins or mini loaves.  Adjust the cook time accordingly. Mini muffins bake in about 12-15 minutes and mini loaves 20 minutes.
