Friends!

Can you believe next weekend is Christmas?! What. The. Heck. I have a long list of things I need to wrap-up (literally) and I’m hoping by Monday I can say my holiday shopping is done. Wish me luck.

Anyway, as promised, here’s my recipe for pumpkin bread. It’s embarrassingly easy and usually a crowd pleaser. 

Pumpkin Bread

1 1/2 cups sugar

1 2/3 cups flour

1/4 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

3/4 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1 teaspoon cloves

1 teaspoon nutmeg

2 eggs

1/2 cup vegetable oil

1/2 cup water

1 cup pumpkin

3/4 cup chocolate or white chocolate chips

Instructions: Butter and flour pan. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Mix ingredients and pour into loaf pan. Bake for 50-60 minutes for larger loaves (check after 40 minutes, as every oven is different!) and 25 minutes for the mini loaves. Makes two small loaves or 8 mini loaves.

And of course, if you are gifting these to pals this holiday season, here’s how I packaged up my mini loaves…a little cellophane bag, some festive red baker’s twine and a sweet little gift tag.

Happy weekend!
