It just wouldn’t be fall without some Pumpkin Pecan Bread baking in the oven to make your house smell delicious.
Every year as the weather starts to get cooler and the leaves change, I start to get the pumpkin itch. I have to pumpkin allthethings that come out of my kitchen. This year is no different. So far I have made at least 10 pumpkin treats. I promise to space them out a little bit though. Pumpkin overload isn’t always a good idea.
One thing that I make every year is this chocolate chip pumpkin bread. Each year I like to give it a fun little twist to it to make it different from the year before.
I realize that there are about a million pumpkin breads floating around the Internet, but trust me when I say you need this version for breakfast very soon.
I kept the pumpkin bread simple by not adding any extras to the bread batter except for some pecans and spices.
This year I can’t seem to get enough of pecan and praline desserts. I was really planning on keeping the bread extra simple, but then I decided the bread needed a glaze and more nuts.
Simple doesn’t happen often with me, I guess. At least I thought about it.
As I started to think about what kind of glaze would work for this bread, I remembered this apple praline cake, and I knew that I had to have that frosting again.
Since a thicker frosting tends to make my family call breakfast bread a cake, I thinned the frosting down to a runny glaze.
The glaze will run completely over the sides, so let it cool completely and spoon it on slowly. Make sure the bread is on a wire rack with a pan under it to keep the glaze from going all over your counter.
Press on some chopped pecans and let it set, then slice yourself an extra large slice to go with your morning coffee.

October 23, 2016 at 12:43 PMCan I use mini loaf pans?
Jocelyn says
October 23, 2016 at 3:12 PMYes, you can use smaller loaf pans. That will affect the baking time. My guess is that you will bake the minis for 40-45 minutes. I haven’t done this particular bread in smaller pans though, so I can’t say an exact time. I hope you enjoy it!
