Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread

We’ve been working on this recipe to find a great tasting pumpkin bread with not a lot of sugar and I think we have finally got the recipe to where we like the texture and not overly sweet. We hope you will give it a try and like it too!

The first pictures are taken of the less sugar and oil and the pictures at the end are with more sugar and oil with the dark chocolate chips add to the bread batter.

I think you will agree the less oil and sugar recipe looks more healthy too.
