autumny baked goods
usually i like to bring a gift to whomever i’m going to visit. since autumn is upon us, i wanted bake something for erin and her housemates that would bring the season to mind. this moist bread that works as breakfast, a snack or dessert was well appreciated and gobbled up.
pumpkin chocolate bread
makes 1 loaf | bake time: 70–75 min.
1 3/4 c. all-purpose flour
1 1/2 c. sugar
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp nutmeg
1 c. chocolate chips
1 c. canned solid pack pumpkin
2 eggs
1/2 c. vegetable oil
1/3 c. water
1. preheat oven to 350°. grease 9x5-inch loaf pan.
2. in a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, baking powder, salt and nutmeg. stir in chocolate chips. set aside.
3. in a small bowl, blend pumpkin, eggs, oil and water. stir into flour mixture until moistened. pour into prepared pan.
4. bake until a toothpick inserted in centre comes out clean, 70–75 minutes. cool 10 minutes; remove from pan. cool completely on wire rack.
note: you can easily double this recipe to use up the whole can of pumpkin since i’m not sure what else you would do with half a can of pumpkin.
