Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread

With the leaves starting to fall these days and the cold windy weather we had all day, I wanted to make something comforting and simple.

And, weirdly enough I've had pumpkin on the brain this whole week. I finally got myself to Whole Foods and bought canned pumpkin! Mmm, I was so excited to see it on the shelves again. However, I sinfully bought a boxed mix for the pumpkin bread. BUT, I added real pumpkin! And chocolate chips :-) Either way, this deliciously moist and spicy bread definitely hit the spot.

Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread

(from a mix)

Ingredients:

• 1 package pumpkin bread mix
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup canned organic pumpkin
• 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Combine the dry mix with 2 eggs and pumpkin. Stir until smooth and fold in chocolate chips.
3. Pour batter into a 9 x 5 loaf pan.
4. Bake for 50-60 minutes, until golden brown and a knife stuck in the center comes out clean.

I hope you're enjoying the tell-tale signs of fall approaching!

Happy Baking!
