Episode 3: Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread

Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread

For Bread Mix Together:

1/3 cup room temp butter (un-salted)

1 cup brown sugar

2 cups flour

2 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp nutmeg

2 ½ tsp pumpkin pie spice mix

¼ tsp ground ginger

½ tsp baking soda

1 tblspn baking powder

½ tsp salt

2 eggs

2 cups pureed pumpkin

¼ cup whole milk

1 tsp vanilla

¼ cup applesauce

¼ cup sour cream

1 11.5oz bag of chocolate chip morsels

Combine all ingredients with chocolate chips going in last after all other ingredients have been incorporated. This is a thick batter and makes a mean loaf of pumpkin bread! This bread is serious and not for the faint of heart!!! Smiles! Know that it will not produce a light and fluffy type of bread, it’s more of dessert bread…but I am telling you it is sooooo good! I love it!

Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour and check on it. Do not take this bread out until it is cooked through! I have under cooked it many times before and it ruins the bread. Again if you are worried about the top burning, cover with foil while in the oven. You will know that the bread is cooked when the knife comes out clean. Although I am having you check the bread after one hour…it will most likely take longer than this to bake. I am not sure of the exact time J

This recipe makes two great loaves of bread…so fun for gifts!

Also be sure to grease loaf pan with butter and flour before placing in batter inside to ensure that the bread comes out in proper form!
