Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread

No matter how hard I try, I can never out-bless my parents.  They truly are one of the great blessings in my life. 

When they found out that Ben and I were planning a trip to Hawaii, they offered to travel 700 miles to our house in Georgia and dog sit our crazy Weimaraner for the week and a half that we were gone.  That in and of itself is a full time job but while they were here, they also tackled house and yard projects that had been on our to-do list for quite a while.  At the end of our fabulous trip, we came home to a sparkling clean home (and driveway) and an extremely exhausted pooch.

In preparation for their house/dog sitting visit, I put together a couple of simple casseroles and soups for my parents and put them in the freezer.  I had no idea that while we were away, my mom would restock our freezer with her own amazing food for us.   There's nothing like coming home from vacation to a well stocked refrigerator and a homemade apple pie and homemade spaghetti sauce and meatballs in the freezer.  Did I mention that it's impossible to out-bless my parents?  

Even when I'm not expecting house guests, I like to make quick breads to keep in my freezer.  One of my favorites is this Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread.  I love this bread because it's dairy free but it's rich in wonderful warm Fall spices and flavors - and chocolate chips!

This recipe made one big loaf and two mini loaves of breed.  My large loaf of banana bread sunk in the middle as it cooled.  That is usually an indication it's underbaked and could have used a few more minutes in the oven.  That certainly didn't stop us from eating it though.

To my parents: I can never thank you enough for sacrificially taking over our dog and house responsibilities for a couple of weeks so that we could enjoy a much needed vacation.  You are such a blessing to all of us.  We love you.


Ciao!

Lately, I noticed that I've been very addicted to baking, that's why I am always in search of a perfect recipe aside from cakes. Until I saw this Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread! What's amazing about this is the fact that the pumpkin, which is very unlikely to become a main ingredient of a bread, pulled off the concept and it went really well! It's not just enticing, I can tell that it tastes good too! Huge thanks for sharing such magnificent bread recipe. I will try this for sure.
