The Perfect Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread.



I made THIS recipe for the kids this week. It is delicious and moist. The kids love it and chow it down, I love it because the pumpkin is full of vitamins.  I recommend making at least a double batch!!

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1-1/4 cups canned pumpkin
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 cup chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
  • GLAZE:
  • 1 tablespoon heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar

Directions:

In a large bowl, cream butter. Gradually add sugar, eggs and pumpkin. Combine dry ingredients; stir into creamed mixture and blend well. Stir in chocolate chips and nuts. Pour into a greased and floured 9-in. x 5-in. loaf pan.
    Bake at 350° for 45-50 minutes or until loaf tests done. Cool on a wire rack. Combine glaze ingredients and drizzle over cooled bread. Yield: 1 loaf.
