SPT (Wednesday edition)
Challenge: Fall comfort food

For sure it would have to be my Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread. It is the best way to start off fall having this cook in your home. I can't believe I have not made it yet this year. Enjoy the recipe

Enjoy the recipe it is one of our family favorites!

Pumpkin Bread

3 cups of sugar

1 cup of salad oil (this recipe is from a book my families church group made 30 years ago. and it makes me laugh the wording of salad oil, i never realized that. it just means like Canola oil but you could use olive oil too)

4 eggs, beaten

1 (16oz) can of pumpkin

3 ½ cup of flour

2 tsp. Baking soda

2 tsp. Salt

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp nutmeg

1 tsp allspice

1 tsp cinnamon

½ tsp cloves

2/3 cup of water

cream sugar and oil together. Add eggs and pumpkin; mix well. Sift together dry ingredients. Add dry ingredients alternately with water. Pour into 2 well greased and floured loaf pans. Bake at 350 degrees. 1 ½ hour or so or until knife comes out clean.

I always make these in cupcakes. Mini and normal size.I always add mini choc. Chips about a cup. Mix the choc chips with 1 Tsp of flour so they don’t sink in the batter.

  1. 1) i love the tip about the mini chips. we made pumpkin spice bars recently (MSL) and i felt like the chocolate chips were a little overpowering.

    2) i've never heard that about mixing the chips with flour. brilliant!

  8. I know I'm in the minority, but I don't enjoy pumpkin anything to eat. I enjoy pumpkins as decor for the fall, but definitely not as a food item.

    Why is this the first time we're seeing your computer area? Weird, I want to see more.

    Ok...I must be dumb. What is Salad Oil? I always only use EVOO. I asked some friends and they aren't sure either so I don't feel so bad.

  14. I have to try your recipe. I love pumpkin. I make pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. This will be great to give the kids! Thanks for sharing! Congrats on your marathon!

  15. Oops, I don't think I can get tinned pumpkin here. *blinks*

    This sounds very indulgent, though, and very autumnal.

    Can you abandon your healthy marathon diet now, then, and revert back to stodgy comfort food? Hurrah!
