Today is our first really fall-like day. We had a freeze last night and it was pretty cool this morning when I left for work. I'm in the second week of my clinical in an outpatient orthopedic clinic... not my strong suite but I am learning a lot and it's going better than I expected. Last week I decided to make some pumpkin bread. I combined a few recipes together and was quite pleased with the results. This bread is very moist and has a nice sweetness with the streusel topping and chocolate chips, but not too sweet.
Pumpkin Bread
1 3/4 cup flour (I used wheat and all-purpose)
1 1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1/3 cup cold water
1/2 cup oil
1 cup chocolate chips (I used mini choc chips)
Streusel Topping
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 stick butter
1 handful of pecans (very technical... I know)
Combine all dry ingredients
Add wet ingredients to the dry then mix together until just combined, don't overmix.
Pour into a 5x8 greased pan (or 2 smaller pans and give one to a friend)
For streusel topping, soften butter.
Add flour, sugar, and cinnamon. Use a fork to mix together until you have a crumbly topping.
Chop a handful of pecans.
Add them in too,
Pour topping over bread
Bake 375 degrees for 60-70 minutes or until knife comes out clean.
Hope you enjoy this recipe, I have more pumpkin things and soups to come! Have a great week!
