Pumpkin Bread with Dried Cranberries and White Chocolate

Since September has arrived I have been searching for a more fall inspired bread recipe.  This recipe is a perfect fall bread and has so many good flavors.  The pumpkin flavor and spices can clearly be tasted along with the delicious addition of cranberries and white chocolate chips.  The white chocolate chips melted into the bread during baking so I might try a larger, white chocolate chunk next time.  The bread was nice and moist and the pumpkin spice highlighted the flavors of the pumpkin puree.  The aroma during baking was amazing and I can’t wait to have this for breakfast the next coming week!
