That ain't chocolate. That's just fat. Yuck.

<cue the Homer Simpson voice> Mmmmmmmm. Fa-a-a-at.



<marveling at how this thread morphed from something pretty healthy to white chocolate chips. Guilty!>

I like dark bitter chocolate myself.... so I'd probably go with Ghiardelli bittersweets myself.... but its up to your own taste.

I'm guessing they'd need to cook for about 15 min... but its really a grandma recipe - nothing but the ingredients...

since we are on a pumpkin thread....how about any other awesome pumpkin bread recipes!!!

[GLC1968]

I'm definitely going to try some of the recipies posted here!

Here's my contribution. This is my grandmother's pumpkin bread recipe. It's to DIE for...and not even remotely healthy.

MoMo’s Pumpkin Bread

3 ½ cups flour
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
3 cups sugar
1 cup canola oil
4 eggs, slightly beaten
2/3 cups water
2 cups pumpkin
1 cup chopped nuts

Sift (or stir thoroughly) together the flour, soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg together in a large bowl. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and add all the remaining ingredients. Mix well until smooth. Pour batter into two 9x5 greased and floured loaf pans. Bake one hour in a 350 degree oven. Cool slightly in pans and then turn out onto cooling rack. Store in refrigerator at least one day before serving.

My notes:
no need to flour pans if using non-stick and cooking spray
mix everything with a spoon…mixer not necessary
egg substitute works fine for eggs
nuts are optional

Question on the cookie recipe- is it a chewy cookie or a crispy one? Not sure you can do crispy with pumpkin, but I looking for a chewy melt in your mouth recipe (to top with a hint of cinnamon cream cheese icing like the lady at the farmer's marker does). I have a few containers of fresh-killed pumpkin in the freezer from last year (or maybe the year before ??) Trying to use the last so we can do a new pumpkin this year. And well, I just love pumpkin everything!

Do you put the pumpkin in with the oats in the crock pot the night before or do you add it just before serving? Thanks.

The cookies are "fluffy." Actually, they are chewy, not at all crispy.

Hmmm, I'm gonna have to try that pumpkin bread recipe. Think I'll add some chocolate chips to it, though!! Thanks for sharing it, GLC.
