I'm no Martha Stewart in the kitchen.
But I do think I hit jackpot with the Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread I made last week.
I left Ivy alone for 30 seconds while I took out the trash, and I came back in to her devouring the bread like a wild animal. No joke. So glad I took the photos before this happened.
So after going over a few recipes, and examining what I had, here's what I came up with:
Preheat oven to 350 F.
Grease and Flour a loaf pan.
Gather these ingredients:
- 1 3/4 cups flour
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1/3 cup water
- 1 cup canned pumpkin puree (not the pumpkin pie puree, just the plain one)
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips... (maybe I squeezed a little more than that in there...)
Mix the ingredients together in a bowl. (Wet together, dry together, combine!)
Add chocolate chips last.
Fill your pan.
Bake for 45 minutes.
Once a knife can be stuck in, then pulled out clean, it's done baking.
Let it cool for 10 minutes.
Take it out of the pan.
I like to put it onto a decorative plate. Just cause.
There is also a glaze that can go on top after baking, which I used:
- Almond Milk
- Powdered Sugar
- Lemon Juice
You start with the sugar, then add the other two ingredients until it's the consistency you like.
My husband doesn't even like pumpkin stuff (gasp!), and he ate a piece and said it was good.
So give it a try! What's Fall without Pumpkin recipes?
Or prize winning pumpkins?
Or sticking your legs up on prize winning pumpkins?
Aloha, Rebecca
