It is officially pumpkin everything season!! I went shopping with my cousin this past weekend and every shop we went into smelled of fall, it was so intoxicating. We went into a well known high end retail store and they had samples of several of their fall goodies out. One of their mixes was a pumpkin bread mix , that was at best average. Seriously, homemade pumpkin breads are so easy and so much better than a mix. This Chocolate Chunk Pumpkin Bread is so easy and delicious , and is perfect with a hot cup of tea. In the fall I love making breads like this check out my Apple Butter Banana Bread and my Apple Bread with Cream Cheese Filling.
Recommended Tools to make this Quick Bread:
Once the bread is cooled and sliced it is hard to resist grabbing a slice . It is slightly sweet and full of pumpkin spices. What really makes this different is big chocolate chunks in every bite . The semi sweet chocolate and pumpkin bread surprisingly a delightful combination. Trust me , this will be your new favorite fall bread.
