Craving pumpkin? I was…so I made these babies! I found the recipe on The Fresh Loaf. I got a bit carried away with the chocolate chips on accident, but a little chocolate never hurts right?
Pumpkin Bread (I made muffins)
*recipe from The Fresh Loaf
Makes approximately 12 muffins, 3 small loaves, or 1 large loaf
1 3/4 cup (1 15 oz. can) pureed pumpkin
1 1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
3 eggs
3-4 cups all-purpose unbleached flour
2 tablespoons baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 cups chopped walnuts or chocolate chips
Preheat the oven to 350.
Combine the pumpkin, brown sugar, butter, and eggs and mix until creamy. In a separate bowl, combine all of the dry ingredients except the nuts or chocolate chips. Mix 3 cups of the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, then add as much of the 4th cup as necessary to achieve the proper consistency (moist, but thick enough to stand a spoon in). Add the nuts or chocolate chips and stir in.
Pour or spoon the batter into greased muffin tins or bread pans. Bake on the center rack until a toothpick poked into the center comes out dry. At sea level, muffins should take between 20 and 25 minutes to bake, small loaves between 25 and 30 minutes, and full sized loaves between 50 minutes and 1 hour.
Go ahead and make some…you won’t be sorry!

I like to use Butterscotch Chips instead of chocolate – the taste is so complimentary to the pumpkin!

Love these! Make them often. Thinking about doubling and freezing for an out the door breakfast. Do u think it would be ok to freeze them?
Yes Tracy! I have done exactly that and they are just fine!
WOW!!! I made these tonight and they were delicious. They tasted as wonderful as they looked in the photos =)
How much flour do you use? 3/4 cups? 3 to 4 cups? That seems a bit imprecise, so I’m a little confused
