Pumpkin Bread is one of my favorite fall treats especially when you add a few chocolate chips to the loaf. Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread is the perfect sweet treat for breakfast or a snack.

Sweet pumpkin pairs deliciously with chocolate chips (I like using dark chocolate chips.) and bakes up beautiful in this sweet treat!

Why this recipe works:

• Makes two loaves so you can share or freeze one
• Tender, moist and delicious pumpkin bread that smells amazing while baking
• Made in one bowl and you don’t need a mixer

Ingredients Needed

• All-purpose flour
• Granulated White Sugar
• Baking soda
• Salt
• Spices – Cinnamon & Nutmeg blend perfectly
• Canned Pumpkin – Make sure it’s pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie filling
• Vegetable oil – Adds moisture and lightens the crumb up
• Eggs
• Chocolate chips – Milk, Semi-Sweet or Dark Chocolate will work

Steps to Prepare

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Prepare two 5x9x3 inch loaf pans by coating with non-stick spray.
3. Combine the pumpkin, oil, eggs and water.
4. Add dry ingredients. Mix until combined.
5. Fold in chocolate chips. Spoon into loaf pans
6. Bake for about 60-65 minutes
7. Cool for 10 minutes and remove from pan to wire rack.

Expert Tips

• This bread is delicious with a 1/2 c. of chopped nuts if you’d like.
• Toss your chocolate chips with a little flour before you add them to the batter. This prevents them from sinking to the bottom.
• Save a few chocolate chips or throw a few extra on top for presentation.
• To test the bread to see if it’s done insert a toothpick in the center of the loaf. If it comes out clean or with just a few crumbs it’s done.
• Leftovers should be completely cool then placed in an airtight container or resealable ziploc bag. Store it at room temperature for up to 5 days. If stored in the refrigerator it can be stored for 7-10 days.
• Freeze this bread by allowing it to completely cool first. Then wrap the loaf tightly in plastic wrap and place in a resealable freezer bag. It will keep in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw loaves overnight in the refrigerator.
• Instead of large loaves this recipe will make up to 8 mini loaves using mini loaf pans. These are perfect for sharing with friends. Start by baking mini loaf pans for 30 minutes and then testing to see if they are done.
• This bread will bake best in a lightly colored aluminum bread pan. This is because bread pans conduct heat so that they cook evenly to prevent the bread from getting to brown on the bottom.

If you’re looking for a tasty treat when during the holidays, be sure to bake up this bread! It’s perfect for company or an easy snack while you’re waiting for dinner!
