Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread

 

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread

My love of pumpkin runs deep. Pumpkin desserts, pumpkin in savory dishes, pumpkin-scented candles, the works. This fall has been even more fun for our family. Lleyton is in preschool and is old enough to make some fall crafts, both boys loved our trip to the pumpkin patch, and we are just two or so weeks away from welcoming our third baby into our family. It’s a great time to be cozy and enjoy an afternoon of baking pumpkin chocolate chip bread.

I have been trying to let Lleyton help more and more in the kitchen, and baking seems to be the easiest way for him to help. Cooking frequently requires a lot of chopping and more time standing over the stove, but Lleyton loves stirring up a bowl of muffins or bread and watching the recipe bake in the oven. Since he naps every other day and Easton naps every day, on the days that I only have Lleyton awake in the afternoon it’s a perfect time to let him help me in the kitchen.

My kids have never met a baked good that they don’t like. They each enjoyed a few slices of the mini loaves as their afternoon snack. I think that makes the fact that Lleyton helped make them extra special! Easton called the little slices “cookies” since they are about that size. If you don’t have a mini loaf pan, you can certainly make these as muffins or in a larger loaf pan, you will just need to adjust your cooking times and make sure you don’t overfill them. This recipe will also make about 22 muffins or a one very large loaf in a standard pan.

I do think a mini loaf pan is worth the money if you bake a lot of breads! They are adorable and perfect for sharing. You can even slice up the little loaves to serve at brunch, dessert for a holiday dinner, or put out with coffee on Thanksgiving.  I got my mini loaf pan years ago at Home Goods and have used it for so many recipes.

There seem two be two types of fall desserts that people love: pumpkin and apple. After bringing you this chai-spiced apple cake a few weeks ago I wanted to make sure those of you who fall in “team pumpkin” were also taken care of. Enjoy!
