Great Harvest Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread

Kirsti sent me this recipe about a year ago and we've made it several times since.  It's easy and delicious!  I love making Pumpkin Bread in the fall when the scent of pumpkin and sweet spices fill up my kitchen.   Sometimes I surprise Brynlee with this for an after school snack and it never fails to brighten her mood after a long day.  In fact, I think this delicious pumpkin bread would brighten anyone's day!



Great Harvest Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread
* I usually halve this to make 3 mini loaves

3 1/2 cups white flour
3 cups sugar
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon salt
16 oz cooked or canned pumpkin puree (not pie filling)
1 cup oil
4 eggs, beaten lightly
2/3 cup water
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease two (9x5 inch) loaf pans or three (8x4 inch) loaf pans. Or 6 mini loaves. 

Mix flour, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt together in a large bowl; set aside.

Mix pumpkin, oil, eggs, and 2/3 cup water together and stir into dry ingredients. Stir in chocolate chips. Place batter in prepared pans.

Bake 60 or 70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.  Bake mini-loaves for 40-45 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean,  

Halve the recipe for just one regular loaf, 3 mini loaves, or 18 cupcakes.

Cupcakes cook for 20-25 minutes

* I think this is best to eat while it is still warm with a slightly crunchy top and melted chocolate chips!

Bakery style Strawberry Muffins

New recipe! Can you even believe it?! Kirsti and I decided we need to get back in the habit of sharing our favorite recipes by sharing at least one a month so here you go:   I’m starting off with these scrumptious strawberry muffins. Extra large and fluffy, these muffins are bursting with strawberry bits and topped with the most delicious strawberry glaze. If you end up with extra glaze, go ahead and drizzle some extra.  No judgement here :)   Even if you already love the previous strawberry muffins on our blog, you need to try these- they are the only ones I'll be making from here on out.  They're that good!

Chocolate Covered Cream Balls

Several years ago, I sampled a Milk Chocolate Coconut at See's Candies.  It was love at first bite.  Ever since then I have made a mandatory stop every time I went into the mall to get one of these delicious chocolates.  I love them so much !  However, there are two things I didn't like about them.  1) I had to go to the mall to get them, and 2) they are SO expensive.  I think the last time I was there I paid about 75 cents for 1 chocolate.

Bread Twists

These are my new go-to bread sticks for two reasons - taste and time. They have a wonderful buttery/garlic flavor and the kosher salt adds a delightful savory crunch.  The other thing I love about these is how quickly they come together.  It only takes one hour from start to finish.  One hour!  That's almost unheard of for a yeast bread.  Try these out next time you want some bread with your dinner but are short on time.
