Chocolate Pumpkin Bread
I’ve got another great pumpkin recipe for you today! This chocolate pumpkin bread is sure to be a fall favorite that you make year after year. I got the recipe from a woman in my church who makes this bread every year to give out to friends and family. After hearing all the rave reviews, I knew I had to try the recipe for myself. Like most quick breads, this recipe is easy to throw together and tastes great. You end up with three loaves (although it would be pretty easy to cut down the recipe), which makes it perfect to be able to eat some and also give some away. The bread is nice and moist from the pumpkin and full of chocolate flavor and fall spices. We loved this bread and I’m pretty sure you will too!

I was so excited to try this recipe, I ran out to buy the chocolate and ended up buying semi sweet instead of unsweetened bakers chocolate. Can I still use it? Should I cut down on the sugar in the recipe or go exchange it for the correct chocolate? Thanks!
Do you think you could use applesauce or coconut oil instead of canola oil? I’m trying to stay away from processed oils!
