Double Chocolate Pumpkin Bread

September 26, 2020 Amanda Plott

I’ve been in bread mode lately for breakfast, if you couldn’t tell. And with the influx of cooler weather and it officially being Fall now, of course I had to get with baking up some chocolate pumpkin bread. Not just that though. DOUBLE chocolate pumpkin bread. This tasty breakfast treat is as rich as it comes and sooo decadent.

The pumpkin and applesauce being in this bread means it’s super moist and you barely need any oil in it at all. I kept it as low as I could with sugar by substituting in one of my favorite swaps, a brown sugar/sweetener blend. You’ll never know the difference in taste either! That one single swap will nearly cut the sugar in half…

Once more, I am forced to say... 'I'm sorry' and... 'you're welcome' in the same sentence.

Who says 'you can't have your cake and eat it too?' Not this girl.

If you haven't noticed yet... I am all about sweets and treats. Eatings skinny and healthy doesn't mean things can't be fun or enjoyed!...

Skinny Pumpkin Spice Cinnamon Rolls

I clearly have an issue with cinnamon rolls... They are a weak point for me. Always have been, and always will be.

I've attempted to make cinnamon rolls without cake mix, but honestly, the come out so much more soft and fluffy with the addition. Plus, it allows for you to have some fun with all the flavors of cake mix that are offered! ...

One of my fall favorites is spice cake. And what better to use as a base for some pumpkin spice cinnamon rolls?

It’s starting to really cool off and stay cooled off here in Austin and I couldn’t be any more ready than I am! Bring it on Fall! This One Pot Vegan Pumpkin Curry Soup is a great Fall soup. It’s thick, ‘creamy’ without any cream added, and perfectly guilt-free. It’s also gluten-free with no added oils or sugars! The best part is, you get 2 heaping cups in each serving that comes in well below 300 calories.

Even with all of that? This soup is easily made in ONE pot in under 30 minutes! How can a dinner time soup get any easier than that? Did I mention this soup is completely delicious? Yeah, that too…
