INGREDIENTS

• 1 3/4 cups flour
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• 1/2 tsp. salt

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease or spray a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan. Whisk together flour, soda, salt and spice. In a separate bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs and beat until well combined.
2. Add ½ of flour mixture, then add pumpkin, followed by remaining flour mixture. Stir in chocolate chips.
3. Spread in prepared pan and bake for 65-75 minutes, until center of loaf springs back.
4. To make glaze: whisk together powdered sugar and spices and slowly add milk until glaze is thin enough to drizzle. Cool bread for 15 minutes then depan and drizzle with glaze.
