Pumpkin Bread ~ One Recipe, Two Different Breads

Share/Bookmark

Pumpkin Bread — One Recipe, Two Different Breads ~ While I am reluctant to fully admit it, it saddens me to know that summer is officially behind us.  Both the calendar and the weather now have me convinced there is no going back to summer this year.

Pumpkin Bread

As much as I do hate to say goodbye to the long, glorious days of summer, there is something very comforting about the autumn of the year.

This is the time of year for warm woollen sweaters, Farmer’s Markets bursting with the garden’s bounty and crystal clear, bright blue skies.

It’s also the time for comfort foods like hearty stews, roast turkey, apple pies and of course, anything pumpkin!

This recipe for Pumpkin Bread smells heavenly when baking and has been in my family for as long as I can remember. The only change I made was to add the chocolate chips to one loaf.  Because really why have one Pumpkin Bread when you can have Pumpkin Bread two ways!

Kitchen Tip – If you are in the mood to bake only to discover you have no softened butter, don’t worry. Just measure out your butter and grate it. The grated bits of butter are soft and ready to use immediately.

      Thanks Reg! Be sure to mix the chocolate chips in well so they get to the bottom of the bread too.
