[recipe*] Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread

[Guest guest]

The evenings are turning cooler and the change

in the weather towards Autumn reminds me that

soon I will be baking some favorites again!

Here is a sweet bread recipe that I love and it is a

real treat... more like a dessert.

 

Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread

 

1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened

1 cup + 2 Tbs. sugar

2 eggs

1 cup prepared mashed pumpkin

1/4 cup soy milk [or whatever milk]

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 cup whole wheat flour

1/4 cup baking cocoa

1 tsp. ground cinnamon

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp salt

1 cup chocolate chips

 

 

In a mixing bowl cream the butter with the sugar. Add the

pumpkin, eggs, soy milk, and vanilla; blend well. In another

bowl, sift together the flours with the cocoa, baking soda and

salt. Combine with the pumpkin mixture until well blended

and smooth, then fold in the chocolate chips. Transfer to a

greased 9x5x3 inch loaf pan and bake at 350 degrees for

60 to 65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in center comes

out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from the pan

to cool on a wire rack.

Yield: 1 loaf

Month of September - benign are the planets;

Tending to please, the sea and the hamlet;

Common it is for steeds and men to be fatigued.
