There’s no doubt, everybody is obsessed with pumpkins and apples during the fall. Whether you lie more on the apple side of the spectrum or the pumpkin side, there is most definitely a dessert for you! I love to make a nice quick bread during this time of the year because they warm you up and make great breakfasts when you’re on the go, which most of us students are. I’m personally a huge fan of banana bread, but for the month of October, I can’t leave out the pumpkin. This week I’m going to give you a simple warm pumpkin chocolate chip bread.
