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 Tuesday! I was outside early evening yesterd Happy Tuesday! I was outside early evening yesterday taking pictures of flowers and I felt a shadow flying around me. I looked up and there a Monarch butterfly. 
🦋
I don’t see Monarchs very much, I was delighted when I saw this orange beauty flying around. It landed on a Zinnia before it took a rest on my Butterfly Bush. Isn’t it beautiful? It made my day. It’s the small things.
🦋
I highly recommend a Butterfly Bush in your garden. The flowers come in a range of colors from white, pink to purples. They do well in zones 5-9. The flowers smell amazing and bloom all season. They are also a great butterfly attractor and fairly easy to grow.
🦋
Do you get butterflies in your garden?

I’m still working in my dining room and I wanted to share my new reversible sign that I got from @krumpetshomedecor. It’s a beautiful 24x9 sign that I thought it would be perfect in my dining room. 
🌸
I love sitting around the table with friends and family and tell stories, laugh, play games and have a good time. I thought the side of the sign that says “Enjoy Every Moment” was perfect.

One of the things I added was my new bedding that I got from @lushdecorhome. Let me tell you, it is so luxurious. This is the 3 piece Belgian Flax Linen Rich Cotton Blend Bedspread. It is so soft and gets softer with each wash. 
💕
I have a tall bed and the ruffles just reaches the floor. The bedding is filled with cotton that gives the bedspread such a comfy feel. The bedspread is perfect for the summer, as it is lightweight, but warm enough to keep you cozy in the winter. The set comes with two pillow shams and the bedspread. It also comes in 4 colors. 
💕
I love my new bedding, it’s so feminine and simply beautiful. I couldn’t be happier. Swipe the photo to see how happy Sully is on the bedding.

I updated my little corner by adding some pops of yellow. I just love adding yellow and I love adding lemons. Speaking of lemons, how cute is my little “Hello Sunshine” pillow is from @krumpetshomedecor.

Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime ta Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime tablescape with @JCPenney + #AllAtJCP + #sponsored +#ShoppingIsBack but you know how I love still photos better. I think you can really see the details of the decor.

💛

I am loving how simple, fresh and light my tablescape feels. It’s the perfect look I was going for. When the idea came for creating a tablescape, I was unclear of what direction I was going for until I shopped at JCPenney. I walked around the decor department and was completely inspired. They had so many styles and colors that would inspire you too.

💛

I saved a highlight of my shopping trip to JCPenney. You must check it out. I’ll be honest, I was blown away by the styles, quality and prices of there store. I will be shopping there quite frequently and you know I will take you along my journey.

💛

What is the style of your home?

💛

PS. Everything on my table is from JCPenney and it is the Linden Street Collection.

Happy Thursday! This week is just flying by, which Happy Thursday! This week is just flying by, which is okay by me. Yesterday I worked on my bedroom and it feels so good having a clean bedroom. It was a chore that I needed to get done.

My inspiration was my new pillows that I got from @downlitebedding. The name of the pillow says it all “Ahhhhhmazing™ down alternative pillow” and they are amazing.
🐾
The pillows are so soft, plush and are hypoallergenic. They are easily molded so you position your neck, head and arms. The pillows are also washable and OEKO-TEX® Certified Textiles Are Certified Free Of Harmful Chemicals. 
🐾
I’ll be honest, Downlite Bedding are the only pillows that I sleep with. They are fabulous and will last for years. I highly recommend them. They won’t disappoint you. Downlite Bedding was nice enough to give my followers a 20% off discount code to there shop: DYGEN20.

Do you sleep in your stomach, back or side?

Hello! I have to tell you that I love summer. It’s my favorite season. I love the sun, hot weather, shirts and flip flops. I could just spend all day outside.
🌻
One of my favorite things to do in the summer besides gardening is going to the Farmers Market. There is something about the atmosphere with people walking around with bags in hand, the smell of kettle corn and everyone is so happy. 
🌻
Besides the atmosphere, you can’t beat the freshly grown produce. It’s mind blowing how different it tastes, then what you get in the store. You almost forget what a strawberry is suppose to taste like until have it at the Farmers Market. Plus you are supporting your community. It’s a good feeling all around. 
🌻
I highly recommend going to the Farmers Market and pick up so corn. Soooooo good!! Stock up on your fruits and veggies and freeze it for winter.

🌸
I’m sharing with you my last photo of my peonies. I’m so sad that they didn’t last. I got about 6 days from them. I guess that’s means I need to go to Trader Joe’s and get more before peony season is over.
🌸
Do you have any summer vacation scheduled this year?

🌻
This weekend I finally made it to the Farmers Market and I picked up these amazing sunflowers. They are such a happy flower. 
🌻
When I got them, I couldn’t resist doing a flowers in the sink photo. I haven’t done one of these since Fall. Now I may have to go back to the Farmers Market next weekend because they had so many flowers and most were only $4.00 a bundle. 
🌻
Do you you like to go to the Farmers Market?
