    *Made this for the October Pumpkin Challenge*

    Let me first off say that I found this recipe, got it in the oven, THEN realized that the recipe calls for no sugar! So I was worried :\ I not only put chocolate chips in the bread but like the picture on the recipe shows, I put them on top as well. Used Enjoy Life miniature chocolate chips. This came out and I tasted it and I actually loved it, even without the added sugar, but I went ahead and slathered a little raw honey on just to see and it was perfect! For one thing this bread has the best texture of any Paleo bread I have ever made, and I wonder if it was the pumpkin? My only problem with this and I'm not sure how much of problem it was is that I could barely if at all taste the pumpkin. I think with all the coconut products in it, it's pretty impossible for the pumpkin flavor to come out. I HAVE to give this 5 stars, I loved it :) Oh and my daughter loved it too!

    That looks so good Michelle, yum!
    That's good to know it tastes great without any added sweetness.
    I find with some pumpkin baked goods that have chocolate, the chocolate kinda takes over...maybe that was it?

    Your photos look awesome, as always! :) Pumpkin and chocolate are a great combo. If the chocolate overwhelmed the pumpkin, maybe use mini chips and/or less next time?

    The chocolate may have take over as well Shona! Oh well, it was still great and I think the pumpkin helped out with the strange texture that usually comes with Paleo baked goods.

    I did use mini chocolate chips Bakerme. Maybe less would work, but I love chocolate, so maybe not :P

    Thanks DIZ!! When I flipped the bread out a lot of the chocolate chips fell off and kind of smashed onto the counter so I had to put them all back on lol.
