Hello there! Charlotte here, finally jumping on the food blog bandwagon! I have been reading food blogs for a while now and it’s been such a pleasure to try recipe after recipe and such an inspiration to read all the stories that come with all the yummy food posts.
After starting my master’s degree a little over a year ago, I found myself baking more and more. It is a way for me to relax and clear my head after a long day, or week at the lab. I’ve been trying to come up with my own recipes and to be more creative, which is what led me to finally start this blog: to share my recipes, get feedback and push myself to continue experimenting and improving my baking skills.
Anyways! Enough bla-bla-ing. Let’s talk about the real topic of this blog post -> this delicious chocolate chip pumpkin bread! 🎃
To be completely honest, I grew up disliking Fall. It meant the summer was officially over, rain was coming, days were getting shorter and the cold winter nights were approaching fast. But moving from Europe to Canada 5 years ago has given me a new appreciation for Fall. Here, Fall means beautiful red and orange leaves on the trees, Halloween, and pumpkin/pumpkin spice seem to be an inevitable staple wherever you go! So here I am sharing with you my chocolate chip pumpkin bread recipe because what is Fall without a moist pumpkin bread to devour when you get home after being drenched by the rain?!
I LOVE sugar! And chocolate. And maple. And candies… All healthy stuff right? 🙃 I do actually try to be somewhat conscious about what I put in my body. So this recipe calls for maple syrup instead of sugar, coconut oil instead of butter, and a mix of whole-wheat flour and all-purpose flour. Of course I had to add chocolate chips (because chocolate is 😍) but this healthier version of pumpkin bread can definitely be eaten guilt free!
Ok! Time to get in the kitchen now and for you guys to try it! If you do make the recipe, leave a comment below or share a picture on instagram with the tag @mapleetchocolat and/or use #mapleetchocolat
