Pumpkins are a traditional fall icon due to their comfortable rustic orange color, which fits the shifting colors of autumn leaves. When combined with spices, it creates a cozy feeling that is ideal for the cool temperatures of Fall.
This quick bread is bursting with autumn flavors. Of course, the smoothness of pumpkin puree and the sweet woody tastes of spices give this bread a dense and naturally moist texture with every slice, and the sweetness of chocolate chips in every mouthful. Enjoy!
