Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread

With fall in full swing, I love all things pumpkin (except pumpkin pie for some odd reason) and I love having bread or coffee cake for breakfast.  When I saw this recipe on Pinterest, I knew it would hit the spot because it has 3 of my 4 favorite sweet ingredients: peanut butter, chocolate chips, and pumpkin.  My other favorite is mint but I'm pretty sure that wouldn't work in this bread. While Lucy took a nap while Todd held her on Sunday afternoon, I was able to whip up this bread in no time.

I just made some pumpkin bread last week! I put some mini chocolate chips in it--along with some walnuts. I hadn't thought about peanut butter--such a good idea!!

No WAY! This sounds heavenly! I'll definitely be making this asap!
Do you think if I use fresh pumpkin puree I'll need to add more spices?
