I love pumpkin! Once the fall sets in I could eat pumpkin all day long, ok maybe not all day. This chocolate chip pumpkin loaf is so delicious, moist and makes a perfect afternoon snack.
This chocoalte chip pumpkin loaf is easy to make, perfectly spiced, and made with real pumpkin. I have been making this for school lunches and the girls love it. You can leave the chocolate chips out but the chocolate lover in me recommends leaving them in. Totally your call.
