Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread

While pureed pumpkin is available year-round in grocery stores and markets it reaches its pinnacle of popularity during fall pumpkin season. I think the season is way too short and I am forever looking for ways to enjoy pumpkin in any form. How do you make Pumpkin Bread? It’s easy!

• Begin by creaming together butter with white sugar and light brown sugar. Beat in the eggs one at a time then add pumpkin puree, vanilla and vegetable oil.
• In a separate bowl, use a whisk to sift together all purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt with pumpkin pie spice for added flavor.
• Lower the speed of the mixer and gradually beat the dry ingredients into the wet until well blended. You’ll need to fold the chocolate chips into the batter by hand.
• Divide the batter between two loaf pans and bake per the recipe.
