Pumpkin Bread

Preheat oven to 350°F

Grease a bread pan

To a medium bowl add all your dry ingredients and spices. Give it a little mix and set aside.

To a large bowl add pumpkin purée, brown sugar, maple syrup, applesauce and melted butter. Mix till combined. Then stir in your eggs and vanilla. Once your mixture is nice and creamed together you can add in you dry ingredients. I do this in two steps mixing it before adding in the rest of the flour mixture. Now let’s scoop that pretty batter into your bread pan. Add half of the batter to your bread pan dollop and swirl in your chocolate sauce then sprinkle generously with spiced sugar. Add the rest of your batter and dollop and swirl chocolate sauce on top with another generous sprinkle of sugar to top it all off.

Bake at 350°F for 50-60 minutes

Top with a little maple butter and enjoy
