Start off your Thanksgiving morning with this yummy pumpkin chocolate chip bread. Â This quick bread is also a perfect hostess gift!
It's time again for the monthly Recipe Redux Challenge. Â This months challenge is "Creative Quick Breads"
The holiday baking season is upon us. And this month we’re going way beyond grandma’s banana bread. From sweet to savory and whole-grain to gluten-free, show us your new quick bread creation fresh from the oven. And if you have a tip for wrapping and giving your lovely loaf, please share that too!
I make quick breads a few times a year. Â Banana bread is the usual choice, because it is my hubby's favorite. Â It was a bread that his mother made often when he was younger. Â I also like to make quick breads if I am asked to contribute to my kids school bake sales. Â Last year I made about a dozen quick breads and packaged them up to sell. Â I think quick breads are a great option. Â Quick breads are also great gifts. Â Large or small loaves can be packaged and given to teachers or used as hostess gifts during the holiday season.
For this challenge I decided to continue with the Fall theme that I have been sticking with this month on Nourished Simply. Â I have said this in multiple posts that pumpkin and pecans are my favorite Fall flavor combination, but I already have a pumpkin pecan muffin recipe that I shared last year here on the blog. So I decided to add chocolate to my pumpkin bread instead of pecans, since I of course love chocolate! Â Who doesn't?

This looks AMAZING! Chocolate & peanut butter are always a good go to though. Can't wait to add to my holiday menu... breakfast always seems to get the short end of the stick.
