Perfect Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread & Muffins
Makes 24 muffins and a medium loaf.
- Yield: 24 + Loaf 1x
Ingredients
5 C white wheat flour (hard white or whole wheat pastry flour works great)
3 C sugar (I use evaporated cane juice crystals, which is a whole food)
1 TB baking soda
1 ½ tsp baking powder (no aluminum)
2 ½ TB pumpkin pie spice
4 drops cinnamon essential oil, optional
¾ tsp salt
6 eggs
3 C pumpkin (a large can or home cooked & pureed)
2 cubes butter, melted (1 cup)
½ C applesauce
9 oz chocolate chips
2 C walnuts, chopped (Optional)
Instructions
Mix dry ingredients. Mix eggs, pumpkin, butter and applesauce. Combine all. Fold in chips and nuts. Pour into greased pans or muffin papers. Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes. The pumpkin chocolate chip bread needs to stay in for 40-45 min (it depends on how much batter you have left from the muffins). They may seem a bit undercooked when they come out of the oven.
