How to make Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Pie Bread
We’re big fans of all things pumpkin, especially during the fall. Pumpkin bread is something we always look forward to every year. So, we decided, why not create our very own recipe that’s not only delicious but also packed with nutritional benefits? That’s exactly what we did! Our autumn recipe includes chia seeds, yogurt, flax meal, and, of course, pumpkin. Together, they bring ample protein, fiber, and essential nutrients like vitamins A, E, and K, along with copper and iron. There are also eggs in our fall treat that help boost the protein content. The result is a bread with such a dense, pie-like consistency that we’ve lovingly dubbed it ‘Pumpkin Pie Bread.’ Enjoy!
