Start your day with a slice of this delicious sweet pumpkin bread studded with chocolate and cranberries.

The other day at the grocery store I spotted a bag of candy corn and just had to have it. Lately I have been kind of craving fall, the weather, the colors, the smells and of course the food! I also brought home a can of pumpkin that day and tucked it away in the pantry. Well if you stop by here often then you already know I am obsessed with bread, especially breakfast breads.

I wanted to try something I new, there I said it… I had NEVER baked with pumpkin before. I don’t like pumpkin pie, but I know pumpkin is super nutritious, so I pumpkin bread it was. I scanned a few cookbooks and did a web search, what I decided on was kind of a combination of a few recipes. With a wish of luck and a lot of ingredients, I am pleased to admit the result is quite tasty; a fragrant, sweet breakfast bread worthy of your attention. I highly recommend giving pumpkin a try if you haven’t before. I think you’ll enjoy this delicious, sweet pumpkin bread studded with chocolate and cranberries, happy baking!
