Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread (Low-Fat)

Sorry for all the pumpkin posts lately, I just can’t help myself.

I actually wasn’t going to post this recipe today, but then I changed my mind because after all, Thanksgiving is tomorrow and I am so thankful for this yummy bread.

I have my favorite pumpkin chocolate chip bread recipe that I always make but I bought a new cookbook (surprise, surprise) and saw this recipe and thought I’d try it. Well I am happy to announce that I am 100% IN LOVE with this bread. It is so moist and delicious and the best part is that it’s low fat. It only has one tablespoon of oil in it compared to my recipe that has a 1/2 cup of oil. If you tasted this bread and didn’t know it was low fat, you would never guess it in a million years . . .I promise!

I’m pretty sure I ate half (okay maybe more than that) of the loaf all by myself —but hey, it’s low fat, at least that’s what I kept telling myself. Honestly, I couldn’t stop eating it and I can’t wait to make it again.

Happy Thanksgiving!
