Happy Thursday everyone!
Wow, this week went by super fast and I LOVE IT! One of my friends recently asked me to make her some Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Muffins (well, I ran out of paper cups for muffins, so I did loaves instead) so tonight, I broke out the Pumpkin, Cinnamon, Nutmeg, and Cloves for the best recipe of the season! (For the recipe, scroll down…)
While everything was in the oven, I ran across Dawn McVey’s Color Challenge and I couldn’t resist. I decided to make a cute little ‘wrap’ for my friend’s loaf! Now, I know that the colors aren’t necessarily harvest, fall or even pumpkin colors, but I still think it goes nicely together and I love the color combo!
I simply took some Kraft Cardstock and made one 11 x3″ strip and one 9×3″ strip, designed the longer strip, scored it all to fit and then adhered the strips together after slipping it onto the loaf. Easy enough? haha. I think she will like it…
Supplies Used:
- Colors: Kraft, Chocolate, Raspberry, Green and Cream
- Stamps: PTI Polka Dot Basics II and PTI In Bloom
- Accessories: One Pearl <3
- Tools: Fiskars Scalloped Scissors (Cloud Style), Foam Squares for Dimension on Flower and Sponge to Color the Flower and Leaf
Now for the recipe… it is SUPER EASY! You can have your house smelling delicious and fally in no time!
Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Muffins/Bread
Preheat the oven to 350 Degrees and Lightly grease your loaf pans or prep your muffin pans with paper/foil cups.
Mix together the following:
1 Package of Yellow Cake Mix
1 15 oz. Can of Pumpkin
1 Tsp. Ground Cinnamon
1/2 Tsp. Ground Nutmeg
1/4 Tsp. Ground Cloves
Fold in 1 Cup of Chocolate Chips (more or less… to your liking!)
Fill loaf pans or muffin cups. For loaves, bake for 45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. For muffins, bake for 25 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. **I always sprinkle some extra Chocolate Chips on top of the loaves and muffins before baking to make them look pretty!
Yields: Two Loaves or 24 Standard Muffins

Thanks for sharing the yummy recipe – I love all things pumpkin during the fall – my favorite are pumpkin cookies using just 3 ingredients, 1 can of pumpkin, 1 box of spice cake mix, and chocolate chips – bake at 400 for about 10-12 minutes – so easy, soft, and yummy. I especially love how they make the house smell! BTW, love your loaf wrap – great idea – TFS!

Wow your label is fabulous!!! The bread looks utterly to-die-for! Thanks for sharing the recipe – I think I’ll make some for Halloween to give to co-workers instead of the typical candy.
Great job. Thanks for sharing!
