My Chocolate Chunk Pumpkin Bread
Well hello fall flavors! Cozy up with a cup of coffee and chocolate chunk pumpkin bread when there's a chill in the air. There’s not much of a chill here in southeast Louisiana, but we can still enjoy this moist, not too sweet quick bread that gets its tender texture from ground almonds. It's what I crave when the beautiful autumn weather appears. Now let's get baking! If you make this recipe share a photo with me on instagram @y_delicacies.
