Well it’s officially fall and as my friends say it’s PS season (for anyone that doesn’t speak fall crazed, that’s “pumpkin spice”). There are so many ways to incorporate pumpkin into the foods cooked in the kitchen. Take this recipe for chocolate chip pumpkin bread – I just discovered this one and will certainly be making again!

CHOCOLATE CHIP PUMPKIN BREAD

½ cup dairy free margarine
1 ¼ cup sugar
1 can pumpkin puree (NOT pie filling)
3 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 ¾ cup flour
1/2 tsp each: cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg (ground spices)
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1/3 cup plain soy milk
¾ cup dairy-free/allergy safe chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350′
Line bread loaf pan with parchment paper
Cream dairy free margarine & sugar
Add eggs, one at a time – blend completely
Mix in vanilla and then pumpkin puree
Sift flour, baking soda, baking powder, and spices together
Slowly incorporate into pumpkin mixture
Mix in plain soy milk
Blend in chips
Pour into bread pan – bake 50-60 minutes (add more time in 5 minute blocks, if the bread doesn’t cook in that time)
Remove pan from oven and let sit for 15 minutes before removing loaf from pan
Then remove loaf and let cool on baking rack until finally done cooling
