:: Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread With Brown Sugar Crumble ::
I think from the start of September until the end of December, pumpkin anything is a favorite to cook or bake with. This Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread with Brown Sugar Crumble was made out of the combination a Chocolate Chip Bread recipe, married with the topping from our Skillet Spiced Apple Crumble. Sounds like the perfect little family combined into one! This Pumpkin Chocolate Chip with Brown Sugar Crumble smells like everything I love about fall. The mixture of applesauce, bananas, pumpkin, and chocolate chips make the house smell heavenly. I especially loved my slice dipped in warm coffee!
You know your family loves sweet bread when you picky eater devours it, your easy eater asks to help make it, and your husband asks you to make more. That’s what this Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread is all about!
I like to think ahead {whenever possible, which at this point of my life doesn’t happen often} for the bake goods that I might repeat as Christmas gifts for the neighbors and teachers in our life. As a kid, it was always something that I liked helping my mom with at Christmas. She would make mini banana bread loafs and give them away to our neighbors and friends. This past Christmas I did something similar with Hummingbird Bread.
What I love about this recipe is that the bread isn’t too sweet. It makes for a delightful morning bread or a light dessert for Thanksgiving. It pairs well with coffee or hot chocolate, {cheers to that!}, and I am thinking this might be my pick for the holiday season. Oh yeah did I mention again that the Brown Sugar Crumble is one of the best parts! I think I might have to double this recipe next time I make it. Enjoy!
