I love Falltime. I love when it gets crisp and chilly. I love scarves and cardigans and layers and boots. I love holiday treats and planning meals. I love parties and late-season football. It feels cozy and wonderful, like everything is just a little magical.
This first week back at home has been lovely. I've put up my fall decorations and gone through my first round of man chili. I've walked all around the Dunwoody shops and relieved Goodwill of all its oversized mason jars. I was able to celebrate the upcoming wedding of two of my favorite friends and eat delicious food with their loved ones. It has been a wonderful autumn week. All I've been missing is baking. My sweet friend visiting this weekend helped me fix that.
Warm, ooey-gooey Pumpkin Oat Chocolate Chip Bread. I don't think it needs further explanation.
15 oz pumpkin purée
1/2 stick butter, melted
1/2 cup coconut oil
1/2 cup honey
1/3 cup sugar
4 eggs
2 cups oats
1 cup whole wheat flour
2 t. baking soda
1 t. salt
1 t. cinnamon
1 cup chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix first 5 ingredients until blended. Stir in remaining ingredients in order, adding 1/2 teaspoon each of nutmeg and cloves if you want. I filled 9 muffins and 1 loaf pan (8x4) and placed I the oven. 20-25 mins for the muffins and 50-55 mins for the loaf. Let cool for 10 minuts and enjoy with a glass of milk!
