Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread…

Yes, my friends another pumpkin recipe…I forewarned everyone that my blog is going to be “chock full” of pumpkin in my pumpkin biscotti post. Well, actually there was an initial typo in that description….let’s just say I left out the “h” in chock. Ya catch my drift? However, one of my lovely readers, Lizzy from the blog Lizzy Goes Dutch informed me of this error, so I promptly fixed it in fear of random google hits from odd searches! But all is now well…thanks to Lizzy!

As you know I am on a pumpkin kick and this bread caught my attention while searching all allrecipes for…you guessed it, pumpkin! This recipe is really simple to throw together and makes your house smell utterly amazing, plus it has chocolate! The other bonus is that the bread stays moist for days in a air tight container and freezes perfectly well! If I haven’t got you craving pumpkin yet, try this recipe and I guarantee it will foster a pumpkin addiction! Need another pumpkin fix? Check out my fall favorites, by clicking here!
