This chocolate chip pumpkin bread recipe is the ultimate fall treat! Made with pumpkin puree for tons of moisture, and pumpkin spice for loads of flavor, this sweet bread is a dream. Plus, it’s studded with chocolate chip morsels that’ll melt in your mouth!
Prep equipment: Preheat oven to 350 F. Line a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper and spray with nonstick spray.
Cream butter and sugar: In a large bowl, whisk together melted or softened butter, granulated and brown sugar until smooth.
Add remaining wet ingredients: Add eggs and whisk until smooth. Then, add milk and vanilla extract until combined. Fold in the pumpkin puree.
Stir in dry ingredients: Add flour, pumpkin spice, baking powder, baking soda and salt to batter and gently stir until just combined. Do not over mix, batter lumps are okay.
Fold in mix-ins: Gently fold chocolate chips (reserve 1/4 cup for topping) until just combined.
Bake: Pour batter into a prepared loaf tin and smooth the top. Top with extra remaining chocolate chips. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
Cool and slice: Allow pumpkin bread to cool for 15-20 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing. Slice and enjoy!
Notes
Pumpkin bread is fine at room temperature (in an airtight container or wrapped in plastic wrap) for up to 5 days, but if you want it to last a little bit longer you’ll want to store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator (up to 7 days).
