    Our double chocolate pumpkin bread is moist, full of fall flavors and chocolate. It's definitely a dessert, and rivals any loaf found at a bakery. Promise! If you're in a hurry try our muffin version! 

    You might also like our quick rise pumpkin cinnamon rolls, our apple cider donuts (with a caramel version) or our apple pull apart bread!

    This is one of my FAVORITE quick breads to make. It is ridiculously moist, fudgy, with hints of pumpkin and spices. It is made using simple ingredients and is perfect for fall.

    Cut into slices. This bread stays fresh 3-5 days if stored in an airtight container or wrapped in plastic. I highly recommend warming leftover bread slices in the microwave for a few seconds. So delicious!

      Hi everyone! Brandy here, and I hope you like this bread! The chocolate and pumpkin balance is perfect, and neither is overpowering. Moist and delicious and I like enjoying it warm.
