When I lived in Rexburg, Idaho to go to school there, I used to go to this bakery called “Great Harvest” and get their pumpkin chocolate chip bread. I think that was really my first time trying baked goods with pumpkin in them. I love the combination of pumpkin and chocolate. It’s just amazing!
Fall is probably my favorite season of all. I love the smell of pumpkin and cinnamon when they’re baking. My husband suggested that we make these for our friends. Since these are some of our very favorites, we thought it’d be nice to share…
This beautiful pumpkin bread isn’t so hard to make… And it’s so moist and delicious! And it’s a must-have every fall season. I think it has sort of become our family tradition to make pumpkin bread every year… What do you always make in the fall?
