Pumpkin Bread, let me introduce you to my dear friend, Nutella.

What can I say? I ran out of chocolate chips, and let’s keep it real: Nutella is way better than chocolate chips.  I was going to make just a regular Pumpkin Bread…but regular is sometimes uninspiring. Pumpkin Bread is my fall baking staple.

In the cooler months,  I make one a week. We love Pumpkin Bread. Now, we really love Pumpkin Butterscotch Bread with Nutella. Yowzers! This bread rocks! I was playing on the idea of my Nutella Cake recipe I made this summer.

Fear not! This is not so sweet that it will take the enamel off your teeth. I cut back the sugar I use for my regular Pumpkin Bread because of the butterscotch chip and Nutella thing going on.

I did happen to have butterscotch chips in my cabinets, and you can’t see them when it is done baking, but you can taste their buttery sweetness. This bread is just divine! Moist and full of fall’s yummy spices. And with the right amount of Nutella. Pumpkin paradise.

Look at that nutella! Doesn’t it make you want to take a bite right now??

    Ok, so here's the thing about me and nutella. If it's in the pantry, i'll eat it with a spoon. So I choose not to have it in the house.
    I curse you for wanting me to buy it again for this recipe!

    That is an amazingly moist looking bread. I've never had Nutella, but every recipe I look at lately includes it and people keep raving about it. I may just have to give in and try.

    We never have nutella in our house – it's way too dangerous to have around. I may just have to make an exception for this recipe. You've turned me to the dark side!
