Pumpkin Cranberry Chocolate Chunk Bread

Pumpkin Cranberry Chocolate Chunk Bread with nuts fall bread pinecones and acorns

Good morning friends, did you have a nice weekend? Ours was pretty busy. Friday night we celebrated my husbands birthday, Saturday from the time we woke up until about four we hung light fixtures, moved more furniture into the house and basically cleaned up. As I mentioned a few days ago, phase 1 is finished and now we will live in the house until Spring while we wait for the designs, appliances, fixtures, etc for the 3 bathrooms, kitchen and floors. We have come a long way but it seems like we still have a way to go.

All good things come to those who wait. Pinecones and Acorns

In addition to all of the above I always find time to bake on the weekends, it is relaxing and is my self-care. Do you find baking relaxing? Or do you enjoy cooking more?

On Sunday my brother and family came for dinner so I made a few treats for the kids and I also baked this cranberry pumpkin bread with chocolate chunks and if was delicious if I do say so myself. I know you are probably thinking, another pumpkin bread recipe? Haven’t we already read about a bazillion pumpkin bread posts here this year. The answer to both questions is yes! What can I say, I love pumpkin bread. The good news is that if you don’t you can skip this recipe and maybe try my blueberry coffee cake or buttery almond braid both of which are perfect with coffee, tea or just for a snack.

Create Your Own Pumpkin Bread Recipe with Add Ins

I have a lot of pumpkin recipes on the blog that I have made over the years and I always come back to the same basic LIBBY’S® pumpkin bread recipe that my grandmother made. I like to change up my pumpkin bread recipe by adding nuts, cranberries, chocolate, or sometimes pecans, a streusel topping or just a sprinkle of brown  or white sugar.

Pumpkin Cranberry Chocolate Chunk Bread

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter, softened

1 cup dark brown sugar

1 cup canned  pumpkin pure

2 eggs

11/2 tsp. ground cinnamon

1/2 tap. ground ginger

1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg

1/4 tsp. ground cloves

1 tsp. baking powder

1 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. salt

11/2 cups all purpose flour

1 cup chocolate chunks, or chips

1 cup dried cranberries

1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Directions

Preheat oven to 350. Grease  a 9″ loaf pan with cooking spray and line with parchment paper. Set aside.

In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment combine  all of the ingredients, except the chocolate chunks, cranberries and walnuts, and mix at medium speed until well mixed. Once you have the batter mixed add the cranberries, chocolate and walnuts then fold into the batter, do not over mix.

Pour mixture into prepared pan and bake for 40-60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean, make sure the toothpick or skewer comes out clean. Cool for 15 minutes then remove from pan and continue to cool on a wire rack.
