Pumpkin bread is a classic fall treat, and this version is simple to make and loaded with chocolate flavor. If you love pumpkin recipes as much as I do, you also need to try my pumpkin dump cake and pumpkin dip.
How Do You Make Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread?
Start by whisking together the dry ingredients, the flour, pumpkin spice, salt and baking soda. Next add the wet ingredients, the sugar, canned pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, large eggs and vanilla extract. Toss your chocolate chips with flour and stir them into the batter. Pour the batter in a loaf pan and bake it to golden brown perfection. Let it cool in the pan or on a rack. Slice the bread and enjoy! I love baking delicious breads. If you want to bake some other breads try my blueberry banana bread, chocolate zucchini bread and cranberry bread with orange glaze. There are plenty of breads for any breakfast, dessert or party!

Tips For Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread
Be sure to use pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie filling. They are different! I like to decorate the top of my bread with more chocolate chips. If you decide to go that route, you’ll need to wait for the bread to cool before you turn it out of the loaf pan. That gives the chocolate chips will time to set up and they won’t smear. Run a knife along the sides of the pan while the bread is still warm. You shouldn’t have any trouble inverting the pan later. The batter can be made up to a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator. To reduce the calories you can substitute half of the oil for unsweetened applesauce.
Pumpkin Chocolate ChIp Bread Variations
This bread is rich and delicious as is, but you can make changes to suit your individual taste.
Chocolate chips: You can use semi-sweet chocolate chips, milk chocolate chips, or even white chocolate chips for a delicious bread. Nuts: Feel free to add up to a half cup of nuts like chopped pecans or walnuts. Cranberry: For fall flavors you can switch out the chocolate chips for dried cranberries. Pumpkin: If you just want plain pumpkin bread, simply omit the chocolate chips! Nutella: Swirl a quarter cup of Nutella in the batter for a delicious chocolaty bread!
My family goes crazy for this pumpkin bread. It’s moist, full of flavor and is so easy even my 7 year old twins can make it! It’s the perfect dessert or after school snack.
