pumpkin chocolate chip bread
i really
meant to make these earlier in the week so i wouldn't make them for sunday baking. that didn't happen. i wanted to retire
my pumpkin recipes, at least for a little while, for two reasons. one, i feel
i've gone overboard (yes, i am well aware that four of my recipes last month
involved pumpkin-i'm obsessed and i'm fine with it) and two, it's the first day of
december. now i can officially listen to christmas music, post about
christmas-y things, and bake christmas themed goodies without being judged. but
for one last night i'll thoroughly enjoy my fresh, perfectly moist, wannabe
healthy pumpkin bread. #myhubbybetterbeready for many novembers filled, and i
mean filled, with pumpkin recipes.
chocolate
chip pumpkin bread
2 c all purpose flour (spoon flour
into cup and level with knife)
1 cup whole wheat flour
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1/2 c brown sugar
1 1/2 c white sugar
6 oz plain yogurt
3 eggs, slightly beaten
15 oz pure pumpkin
1/2 c canola oil
1 tsp vanilla
1 c chocolate chips
preheat oven to 350F. spray bread
loaf pans with nonstick spray.
combine dry ingredients in a large
bowl: flours, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
whisk gently to combine and set aside.
in a separate bowl combine brown
and white sugars and whisk to break up any clumps of brown sugar. add yogurt,
eggs, pumpkin, oil, and vanilla extract. whisk until smooth.
slowly add dry ingredient to wet
and mix together. do not over
mix. when combined, gently stir in chocolate chips. divide batter between loaf
pans and sprinkle a few extra chocolate chips on top. bake for 40 minutes or
until a skewer comes out with a few crumbs attached. try not to overbake. keep
checking often if they need more time.
let cool for 10 minutes and then
run a knife around edge of pan and remove loaves.
(i doubled the recipe and
used four 7.5 x 4 pans and five 3
x 6 pans).
