Pumpkin Bread with Chocolate Chips

October 12, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 10 Comments

Yah, it’s Friday!!!  Woohoo!!

So happy the weekend is here!  Not sure what I am going to do this weekend, but one thing for sure is that I can sleep in!!  Ahhhh sleep!!  Another bonus is Jenny doesn’t work during the day on Saturday, so maybe we can go to Berkeley or something   Oh my gosh, I’m sorry, how rude of me!  I was so excited that it was Friday that I almost forgot to say hello!  “Hello!”

Today I have for you a recipe that I have been wanting to make, it was on my Fall list of foods to make this season.  Let me introduce to you Pumpkin Bread with Chocolate Chips!  Yum!!!

I guess you can tell I have been having fun with the themes and funky text that I have been adding to my pictures.  I think I may have just a tad bit too much time on my hands!   As you can tell from the picture I finally broke down and made some pumpkin bread!  I have tried 3 times to make pumpkin muffins and they just weren’t  blog worthy, but bread, bread I’m good at!  Ohhhh, how I love bread!!


This pumpkin bread is moist and chock full of mini chocolate chips to give it some extra sweetness.  Whenever I use chocolate chips in any of my recipes, I tend to cut back on the sugar.   In this recipe, I only used 1/2 cup of sugar.  I know most recipes use a cup or more of sugar, so please if you’d like a more sweeter bread, then I recommend adding more sugar.  But personally I think the bread is sweet enough, especially with the addition of the chocolate chips.  I think my less sugar is working on my Husband.  I made him Snicker Cookies, which is fun size Snicker candy bars cut up into pieces and folded into a chocolate chip cookie base.  I only added 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 1/4 cup brown sugar and he told me the sugar amount was perfect, otherwise he thought the cookies would have been too sweet!  I almost fell over.  You know if you just gradually cut back little by little on the sugar, you won’t even miss it!  Trust me, I know!  I have the biggest sweet tooth!!  Oh and your probably wondering, Snicker Cookies!  Yes, I made them!  I always make my Husband some kind of cookie every week and he wanted Snickers in his cookies!  I will tell you they were good!  I snuck a cookie or two!  I am sure he will be wanting me to make them again!

This recipe is pretty easy to make and I didn’t add any oil to it!  I used greek yogurt and applesauce to make it moist!   Believe me, you won’t miss the oil at all!!  Also, I decided on using egg whites instead of whole eggs.  I wanted bread that was guilt-free, low in calories, low in fat and super tasty!  This bread exceeded my expectations!!   I couldn’t be more pleased with it!!

This recipe will make one large loaf or three mini loaves.  I made minis, as you know I freeze them.  My Husband eats a whole loaf for breakfast and I like to take one into work to share.  But it’s nice, because I have three loaves this time around, so I think we will keep one at home to just simply enjoy with a cup of coffee!

    Whole wheat, low sugar, egg whites, greek yogurt…you have healthified pumpkin bread but it still looks incredibly moist, my #1 thing with bread. Cannot be dry and yours looks awesome. Congrats on making the top 25!

Happy Monday! I’m sharing with you a rare view o Happy Monday! I’m sharing with you a rare view of my kitchen. What’s so rare about it! It’s clean. 🤣 
.
So this weekend our refrigerator broke. The freezer no longer works and the fridge is not getting cool enough. Ugh!! We bought our Whirlpool refrigerator about 4 years ago and spent near $3000 for it. It sure didn’t last long. 
.
After reading reviews on a million refrigerators, they all seem like crap. I need your help! Do you have a refrigerator that you recommend? 
.
I saw a Frigidaire one that we are debating on, but not sure? The reviews are good, but says, they were collected from a promotion. So I’m not sure how much I trust that? Anyway, any recommendations that you have would be great! 
.
Have a great day!

I have been decorating the house for Easter and Spring. I love how this little space turned out. I am loving the bright pastels. I added my new bunny/chick pillow that I got from @12timbers. It matches so perfectly and it’s so cute. I also couldn’t resist the chick pillow from Target. 
🐰
Have the best day!

Hi Everyone! I hope you had a great weekend. I mus Hi Everyone! I hope you had a great weekend. I must say I was disappointed in the Super Bowl. I really wanted the 49ers to win. Anyway, this weekend I refreshed my guest bathroom.
🐰
I have to say my new favorite item is the towel holder. It’s so cute and practical. I don’t have a hand towel rack and I hated leaving my towels on my counter. I saw the towel holder from Target and had to get it. It’s the Hearth and Hand brand.
🐰
I added some bunnies for Spring and a touch of pink for some color. The hand towels are from Homegoods. They have so many bunnies and Easter decor. I had to control myself because I was with my husband. I may go back. 
🐰
Have a great day!!

Happy Monday!! I have to confess to you. I still h Happy Monday!! I have to confess to you. I still have Christmas in my kitchen.😳 I don’t know where to put it, so I haven’t taken it down. It’s not a lot, but just enough to where I can’t fit it. Ugh!  Please tell me I’m not the only one. 
💕
I did do one little spot for Valentines, which I think is so cute. I love decorating with Valentines candy. I can’t resist the pinks and the conversation hearts. I do not plan on going all out decorating this season, as time is going so fast, but I may add some hearts here and there. 
💕
Do you decorate for Valentine’s Day?

Hi Everyone! With spring around the corner, now is Hi Everyone! With spring around the corner, now is the time to get your chores done, so when the warmer weather arrives you can enjoy it. My goal is to refresh my bedroom. I am slowly getting rid of stuff that I no longer need and slowly adding new decor. So hopefully in a few weeks it will be done. #twopageshome
♥️
The first thing I added are these stunning customized curtains that I was gifted from @twopagescurtains. Guys, I’m in love! The curtains are just so pretty! I am loving the way it shades the sun, but still lets the light in. Exactly the look I was going for.
♥️
The curtains I chose are the “Liz Linen Drape Soft”. They are a linen curtain that is environmentally friendly, hypoallergenic, long lasting, dust preventative, and breathable. They are also wrinkle free. I didn’t have to steam them. They came right out of the package ready to hang. They also come in 38 colors and 7 shadings to choose from. There is an option for everyone.
♥️
I’ll be honest I was intimidated on ordering custom curtains. I was so afraid I would order them wrong, but I didn’t. Two Pages has a measurement finder that asks you a few easy questions and boom you have your custom curtain size. It was so simple.
♥️
If you are looking for some new curtains or shades for your home, I highly recommend Two Page Curtains. I absolutely love them. They were kind enough to give my followers an 8% discount code: PBANDP. Link in bio
♥️
Are you planning on refreshing any spaces?

Happy Friday! Hope you had a wonderful holiday sea Happy Friday! Hope you had a wonderful holiday season. I am slowly working on taking my Christmas decor down. I still have my tree up, but I love the twinkling lights, and the real reason is I need my husband to get the box out of the garage. lol 
💙
I am going with blues in the living room. I just find blue calming and peaceful. The first area I styled is the coffee table. Sorry about the views. I have a small, thin living room.
💙
I decided to go light on the decor and add some fresh faux greenery. I hate leaving the remote controls out, so I decided to store them in a decorative box. Everything here, but the white box was bought at Target. 
💙
Have a wonderful weekend!

Hi Everyone! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. I Hi Everyone! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. It was low key for us, as it was just my husband and I. We had dinner at my daughters house on Christmas Eve. That was nice. 
🎄
I am sharing my last view of my living room before I take down my Christmas decor. I will leave some of the winter type greens, but I think I’m going to add some blues. I have always liked blue after the holidays. It just gives the room a light and clean look.
🎄
I want to say sorry for lack of posting. It’s just so time consuming engaging. I hate spending countless hours on my phone. It has made me physically lazy and it hurts my eyes. I have put on so much weight because all I do is sit. I really need to change this habit. Anyway! I hope you have a wonderful day!!!
