Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread delicious and light for the holidays.

I think after all these years I finally get it, my family hates pumpkin.

I excitedly packed up my baked goods and headed home to share these goodies with my family and bff, Anu.

Naturally, my bff and her kid loved my Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread.

My family on the other hand, uhm, not so much. 

Lately, I’ve been getting accustomed to comments such as:
Pumpkin, again?
Why do you keep making pumpkin desserts when you know none of us like it?
Why didn’t you add nuts?
You didn’t add nuts last time either.
Next time make sure you bake something with nuts.

Man, talk about abuse!
I realize pumpkin is most definitely an acquired taste, but when it’s fall, you bake with pumpkin.

Well, I hope you guys will appreciate this delicious treat I made with just a couple tablespoons of coconut oil, whole wheat pastry flour, semi-sweet chocolate chips and Greek yogurt for added moisture. 

This bread is relatively healthy, slightly sweet and extremely moist, but it isn’t airy and springy like cake. This is bread. Toast a slice of this Pumpkin Bread and slather on some almond butter. Pure bliss! 🙂

Although Coconut Oil is high in saturated fats, not all saturated fats pose as a health problem, specifically speaking, Lauric Acid.
