Fall also means it's time to take cooking and baking serious again, and with the weather more comfortable to do so, one of my favorite fall foods is pumpkin. And this time of the year, I buy a can or two each week to tuck away in the pantry, to have on hand. One of the easiest ways to use canned pumpkin is in quick breads and this recipe is my family favorite with chocolate being the secret ingredient that keeps this bread moist and yummy. This also makes 7 mini loaves, perfect for gift giving and sharing with the neighbors.
Pumpkin Bread
2 2/3 cups sugar
2/3 c. canola oil
1 (16 oz.) can pumpkin
2/3 c. water
4 eggs
3 1/3 c. all purpose flour
2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. each cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg
2 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 bag mini chocolate chips
Heat oven to 350. Grease 2 loaf pans, set aside. Mix sugar and oil in large bowl till well blended. Stir in pumpkin, water, and eggs. Mix in flour, baking soda, baking powder and spices. Add vanilla. Stir in chocolate chips, blend well. Pour into pans and bake for one hour or till toothpick comes out clean. Mini loaf pans take less time. Cool before slicing or packaging.
Sounds yummy! Thanks for the recipe.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if I've ever really had anything pumpkin. Just the look of it turns my stomach.
ReplyDeleteLove pumpkin bread! Have you tried yours with pecans or walnuts? Yum! xxoo
ReplyDeleteI am going to have to do the chocolate chips in pumpkin bread. I've said it before and didn't end up remembering to do it! I think that would be delicious. We went for a drive today and saw a Black Walnut tree with walnuts on the ground around it. I love Black Walnuts in pumpkin bread.
ReplyDeleteThis wounds just wonderful, Sue! I can't wait to make this for breakfast tomorrow. My boys are going to be thrilled!

MMMMMM your pumpkin bread recipe sounds luscious! We make a similar around our house except we use peanut butter chips instead of the chocolate. I'll have to give your way a try and see how the two flavors compare.
ReplyDeleteLove your blog! This is my first visit. I came via Cate's Linens. I love hers, too!
