I know, I know it’s not November anymore and everyone has probably moved on to Gingerbread and Peppermint…..but if you still have a can of pumpkin hanging out in your pantry then you are going to want to make this bread! First off let me say that I have made many different versions of pumpkin bread and I have several favorites…. but this has moved up to the #1 position! Actually it is my entire family’s favorite! I have made it a ridiculously embarrassing number of times over the last few weeks. In fact, after I finish writing this I’m going to see if there’s any left…. need my choco-pumpkin fix. Please don’t judge me 🙂
The thing about this pumpkin bread is that it really doesn’t taste anything like pumpkin. If pumpkin wasn’t in the name you wouldn’t know it had any in it. It is basically an amazing Chocolately Bread and the pumpkin just gives the right amount of moistness to this bread. Seriously guys, trust me and go make this right now!
This bread is basically a chocolate lovers dream come true. It’s breakfast, a snack, dessert all rolled in to one lovely package! And honestly the ingredient list is not too bad…so you can actually feel good about eating it!
