Pumpkin-Pecan Bread

Monday, October 8, 2012

Confession time. I don't like pumpkin. As much as I am enamored with fall, you'd think I'd embrace pumpkin baking as so many of you do. Not so much. Even with my dislike of all things pumpkin, I must admit that this bread is good. More than good. It's delicious! It's packed with all kinds of good things - brown sugar, pecans, spices - that complement the pumpkin and make this a great fall quick bread.

I'm a big believer in simple recipes. If I were to guess, I'd say that the majority of you are believers, too. Dessert doesn't have to be complicated to be good. Who's with me? I made this cake with a couple of my favorite ingredients, chocolate and pecans. The cake itself is packed with brown sugar and a touch of cinnamon for a little something extra.

I hope you'll forgive me for consecutive chocolate chip cookie recipes. Like I said earlier this week, I just never grow weary of variations on the classic. These cookies are a hybrid of two fabulous things - banana bread and chocolate chip cookies. The bananas add flavor and some sweetness. The oats add some chewiness. And, of course, pecans add their own awesomeness. They are moist and chewy and quite delicious.
