Ok, so this is more indulgent than it is healthy, but we all deserve a treat now and then and this is a healthier sweet treat than most. And these are the perfect little treats to give to friends, teachers and neighbors. I have made this both as regular loaves and in the Good Cook Sweet Creations Mini Loaf Pan.

I just saw the mini loaf pan on someone else's site too, and I really want one now. If I use a full loaf pan it's just too much bread, etc., for me and my son to eat!
Remember when i lived by you and you would surprise me with these yummy creations? Yeah, those were the days!
I remember those days fondly Janna and miss them!
this bread look very yummy and easy to make. The pans look so cute, I want one!!
Yummy and love the pan for gifts!

Love the combo of pumpkin and chocolate
This pan looks great!
It looks so good. My son would have hayday with this.
I am going to try this with butternut squash puree instead of pumpkin. (somehow we ended up with only 2 zucchini plants this year but about 15 butternuts. trying to get creative in using it up!)
My family would like this recipe. Sounds wholesome and tasty!
