Peanut butter and jelly are over-rated, right? Especially when you run out of bread on a Sunday night! I noticed that we had a heel of bread left in the bag and needed to make 3 lunches the next morning. Yeast bread takes too long at 8pm so I pulled out the ingredients to make pumpkin chocolate chip muffins.

As I started to reach for the muffin pan, I changed my mind and grabbed the mini loaf pan instead. The kids flipped over the tiny little individual loaves of bread. I’ll have to make these more often! I filled it up and made 8 perfect loaves, plus 24 muffins. I’m thinking I need to get another loaf pan so that I can make more at a time.

It’s fun to switch up lunches and my kids seem to appreciate it too.
