Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread

-
Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread is filled with melting chocolate chips and bursting with autumn spices.

Is there anything more quintessentially fall than the smell of pumpkin spices drifting through the house?

I tasted pumpkin bread for the first time about 15 years ago, when one of my students shared her mom’s pumpkin muffins with me. (Hi, Debbie!)

I have no idea how I survived up until then without this awesomeness in our life, because pumpkin muffins have been a year-round (yes, pumpkin haters – year round) favorite in our home ever since.



What To Do With Canned Pumpkin
Pumpkin bread and muffins are certainly not just for fall. You’ll find a can of pumpkin in my pantry January – December. Because pumpkin muffins are a delicious wonder that shouldn’t be relegated to holiday baking alone.

That said, you might also find me making Pumpkin Mousse, Layered Pumpkin Cheesecake Pie, Pumpkin Coffee Cake and endless other delicious things from a lovely little can of pumpkin puree.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups all purpose flour *
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 15 ounce can pumpkin puree or 2 cups cooked fresh pumpkin puree
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/3 cup light flavored olive oil
  • 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips divided
  • GLUTEN FREE ALTERNATIVE:
  • 2 1/3 cups brown rice flour *
  • 2/3 cup tapioca starch *
  • 1/3 cup potato starch *

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease muffin tins, loaf pans or line with paper liners. Stir together the flours, sugar, spice, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Add the pumpkin and mix until smooth. Stir in the eggs and the oil and mix again until combined. Stir in 1/2 cup chocolate chips.
  2. Pour the batter into (2) loaf pans or scoop into muffin cups (about 2/3 full). Scatter the remaining chocolate chips over the top of the muffins or loaves. Bake muffins 16-18 minutes, loaves for 50-55 minutes, until toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean. Let the bread cool completely and store in an airtight container for a few days or freeze for up to 3 months. Enjoy!

NUTELLA MUG CAKE

This single serving Nutella mug cake is ridiculously easy to make with just 3 ingredients. It's rich, dense, chocolatey and everything a flourless cake should be. You may recall earlier last year I posted my 2 Ingredient Flourless Nutella Mug Cake, a recipe I created for my 5-Minute Mug Cakes* cookbook. It remains one of my favorite recipes to date, but a lot of readers were avoiding it because the recipe requires the cake to rest for several hours (even though it only takes 5 minutes to make). Nutella Mug Cake Ingredients:  1/4 cup Nutella  1 large egg  1/2 tbsp dutch processed cocoa powder Directions: Combine all ingredients in an oversized microwave-safe mug. Mix vigorously with a small whisk until batter is smooth and the egg has been completely mixed in. Cook in the microwave for about 1 minute 10 seconds. The cake should be set but may be slightly wet on top. Let cake cool for 15 minutes before serving. The cake will condense down during this cooling proces
