Maple Glazed Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread

Itโ€™s pumpkin season, there nothing better than the great smell of pumpkin, baking in the oven on a cool fall day. Those two things just seem to go together, donโ€™t they?

I have to confess, I donโ€™t make too many things that are pumpkin flavored. My husband has an aversion to anything squash. But lately he has been enjoying the pumpkin items Iโ€™ve made. Maybe he is coming around. Even though my husband usually avoids pumpkin he really liked this bread.

I had never made pumpkin bread before, so I thought I would give it a try. I was going to search out a recipe to try, but then I thought, I could just alter my great grandmaโ€™s banana bread recipe to use pumpkin.

I wasnโ€™t sure if it would work but it turned out great. I substituted the mashed bananas for the fresh pumpkin puree I had made. I probably should have made one big loaf of pumpkin bread but I split it up into two regular loaf pans. I think the better way to go next time would be to use one of my large loaf pans. But the bread still tasted divine, just not as tall.

I added a few chocolate chips to the batter before baking, after all it tastes great in my banana bread, so why not try it in the pumpkin. I also found that the pumpkin bread didnโ€™t stick as much as the banana bread does. Maybe it because the pumpkin bread had less sugar?

As the bread was getting close to being done it filled the house with a wonderful chocolate pumpkin smell. Makes me hungry for it just thinking about that smell. I wish I could bottle it up to enjoy later.

While the pumpkin bread was cooling on a rack, I made some maple glaze for the top. I used powered sugar, maple flavoring and a little almond milk. It added just a little extra flavor the bread, making a good tasting bread great.

I was a little conservative on the spices I added to the bread. If you want more spice flavor go ahead and double the measurements in the recipe. I could taste them all, but if you want more of a pumpkin pie flavor go a little heavier on the spice.
