It’s time, guys.  Pumpkin season is fully upon us, and we must embrace it! Fall really hit hard and fast, yet I feel like it was summer about 2 minutes ago.  Now, suddenly it’s cold, the leaves are falling, and all I want to do is stay home, bake, and be cozy.

Speaking of baking, it’s crazy to think that of all the pumpkin things I’ve meddled with in the past, I have NEVER made a pumpkin bread until now! When I took an IG poll a month or so ago, I got about 10 requests for something of the sort, so I was stoked when I nailed this Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread on the first recipe test.  Don’t worry, I’ve since tested it several more times, and it has never lasted more than 24 hours before being devoured by friends and family…so you KNOW it’s legit.

While we’re on the topic of Instagram polls… I also asked the wise people of IG about the type of mix-ins they prefer for pumpkin bread, and I truly thought there might be a riot if I didn’t make this a Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread.  I mean, the people felt STRONGLY for chocolate chips…I had more than 10x the amount of people who usually respond answer all 3 polls on this subject, and chocolate swept the house. (Which truly made me happy, btw… you are my people!) And if you haven’t jumped on board the Enjoy Life dairy-free, soy-free, nut-free chips yet, IT IS TIME! They taste amazing and are perfect to accommodate any food allergy of those who might be enjoying your treats this season.

The best part is, while this recipe tastes decadent, rich, and you just want the loaf to never end… it’s actually low-sugar thanks to the Vitafiber* syrup, and low fat thanks to the pumpkin taking place of the majority of the oil. Don’t worry, it’s still extremely moist (sorry, I had to use that word- there will be no dry, crumbly pumpkin cake in my house!) and tastes incredible.  This will be your new obsession, whether it’s for breakfast, snack, dessert, or would even make the perfect hostess gift for a holiday party this season!
