Light Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread

Sharing is caring!

lightened pumpkin chocolate chip bread

Everyone seems to have a great recipe for pumpkin chocolate chip bread.  But I wanted something that was a little healthier and I was actually pretty surprised when I couldn’t find anything.  So I made up my own version of a lighter pumpkin chocolate bread.  I wouldn’t necessarily call it healthy, but it’s a little bit less guilt-ridden.  If you only have one slice (who eats only one slice?) it’s 132 calories. And still moist and delicious.

What’s your favorite fall treat? What’s your favorite thing to make with pumpkin? Pumpkin and chocolate chip just go hand and hand and I’m always surprised when they don’t have chocolate chips in anything that is pumpkin.
