"The pumpkin bread is cozy, comforting, and studded with chocolate chips. It's soft, moist, springy, dense yet still fluffy, and nicely spiced. It’s an easy, no mixer recipe that goes from bowl to oven in minutes. Oil keeps bread softer and springier than butter and sour cream or Greek yogurt is extra insurance for a soft, springy, bouncy, fluffy loaf. Anything baked with pumpkin has the natural advantage of being moister. Between the molasses, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and Pumpkin Pie Spice Extract, the bread is true comfort food and beautifully showcase the flavors of fall...."
