I’m never one to wait for fall to make my pumpkin chocolate chip bread. I just can’t resist that sweet, chewy bread loaded with rich chocolate chips. You guys shouldn’t wait either, make this today! Trust me!
Why This Is Basically Fall … and Dessert Heaven
- Major Moistness! Thanks to the buttermilk, your bread stays moist and tender for days! No drying out after one day like other recipes.
- Fail-Proof Method: My recipe is easy to follow. No mixer required. The blending method keeps it simple and tender.
- Perfect Balance of Sweet and Spice: My recipe nails the texture and perfectly balanced flavor, so everything comes together for the best bite!
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread Ingredients
- Add nuts: Swap half of the chocolate chips for nuts for added texture
- Pumpkin: Use pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling.
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread Recipe
Baking this pumpkin chocolate chip bread is my favorite way to kick off fall! It’s simple, cozy, and I like to think I’m making great life choices when pumpkin is the main ingredient.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray and set aside. In a large bowl, mix together eggs, sugar, oil, pumpkin, buttermilk, and vanilla extract. Mix until evenly combined.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger.
- Stir Together: Gently fold the flour mixture into the wet, mixing until just combined. A few lumps are okay, but don’t overmix. Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Bake and Enjoy! Pour the batter into the prepared pan, then bake for 55-60 minutes. The bread is done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
