I guess it is safe to say we are elbow deep in pumpkin spice season! In today’s printing of the Reading Eagle’s Berk’s County, you will find my baking column, Live, Love, Bake with Phoebe, and a lovely recipe for a Brecknock Orchard’s Pumpkin Bread. Andrea shared her family’s recipe and I made so many batches, to the delight of friends, family and neighbors.
I did play with the recipe, making an egg-free version that also skipped the white sugar. I can’t fully enjoy baked pumpkin treats without chocolate chips so those needed to be added! I hope you enjoy this version as much as I do.
Keep an eye out for Andrea’s recipe. I’ll post it here, soon! Until then, maybe we’ll see each other at Brecknock Orchard.
Happy Baking!
