Spiced Pumpkin Bread

I started out thinking I would make

Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread.

Sounds good, huh?

I saw it on Pintrest and when I went to the recipe

I found it was all in metric.

Not gonna happen. 

Did I mention it was 4:30 AM?

I'm not sure I've got what it takes to convert

measurements and temperatures 

at 4:30 PM, 

I can guarantee I

DON'T

have it at 4:30 AM. 

But I can 

GTS

any time of day and I came 

upon this recipe.

I had the presence of mind to peruse the

comment section.

It seemed unanimous that the 3 cups

of sugar was a little excessive.

So I cut it back to 2 1/4 cups.

There were suggestions of altering the spice

combination as well as adding

dried cranberries.

So I did both!

I left out the cloves and put in

cardamom instead

and added cranberries.

All thoughts of chocolate chips melted away.

I will say it is not overly 

pumpkin-y tasting

but it is very good.

Maybe next time swapping out the spices

for a chai spice blend?

Maybe some time I will get around to those

chocolate chips.
