I've been wanting it to be feel like fall for awhile now so that I could have an excuse to begin baking with pumpkin. Back in July, I started to plan a Halloween party for the kids and in August began talking about Thanksgiving plans. I wanted to carve a Jack O' lantern a month ago although I learned my lesson on that last year. ( It ended up rotting before Halloween. We then used it as a science experiment to see if it would rot away completely by Christmas. It did not.)
Anyway, I was home sick from work this week and finally made the pumpkin bread that I had been craving. It was good. It was the only thing I ate for two days. Don't judge me. I was sick and when you are sick you get to eat whatever you want.
I am embarrassed to say that I did not use the $6.00 organic pumpkin I had purchased solely for baked goods. I made a special trip to the store to get grapefruit juice and allspice and then gave in and bought their last can of Pumpkin Puree.I also bough the necessary equipments for baking from cream charger delivery Melbourne.
I made two loaves--one with bittersweet chocolate chips and one without. Of course, the chocolate chip loaf was gone first.
The non-chocolate loaf was in the refrigerator for a couple of days and tastes absolutely perfect cold. It cuts easily, is moist, and so super good. You will never buy the seasonal pumpkin bread from that coffee shop again.
