Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread

by Two Peas on September 24, 2010

It’s fall and do you know what that means? Pumpkin chocolate chip bread. Fall isn’t fall without it. I have been making this pumpkin chocolate chip bread for years. It is a staple in our home every fall season. As soon as I smell pumpkin bread baking in the oven, I know fall has arrived.

This pumpkin chocolate chip bread makes a great fall snack, dessert, or even a sweet breakfast treat. The spiced bread is moist and dotted with chocolate chips. Cut a thick slice, grab a glass of milk, and enjoy! This recipe makes three large loaves-so be prepared to share. I don’t think your friends and family will complain if you show up on their doorstep with a fresh loaf of pumpkin chocolate chip bread. They will accept it with open arms.

Start the fall season off right by making pumpkin chocolate chip bread. Happy Fall everyone!

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread

Yield: 3 loaves bread

Cook Time: 60 minutes

Ingredients:

3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon ground nutmeg
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
3 cups granulated sugar
1 (15 ounce) can 100% pure pumpkin
1 cup canola oil
2/3 cup water
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 large eggs
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray three 9x5 inch loaf pans with cooking spray and set aside.

2. In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

3. In a large bowl, combine sugar, pumpkin, canola oil, water, vanilla, and eggs. Mix until smooth.

4. Slowly blend in flour mixture. Fold in chocolate chips. Evenly divide batter between the three loaf pans.

5. Bake for 60 minutes, or until browned and a toothpick comes out clean. Remove loaves from oven and cool in pans on a wire rack for 15 minutes. With a knife, go around the bread and loosen the loaves. Remove from pan and cool completely before slicing.

*Note-this recipe makes a lot of bread, so be prepared to share or put a loaf in the freezer for later.

Oh boy!! now I have to figure out whether to make this one or the Nutella one first! But this one makes 3 loaves? That would be handy, except I only have 2 loaf pans. Maybe I could make muffins with the excess batter? Anyone ever tried that?
I make some awesome pumpkin chocolate chip cookies I found on another blog and I am thiking this weekend will be pumpkin based baking!!

  Fran-yes, you can make muffins with some of the batter. I do it all the time! Enjoy!

    Awesome!! When I use chocloate chips with pumpkin, I like to use the milk chocolate ones. I may add this bread to my weekend list of baking. I just bought a jumbo muffin pan and a mini muffin pan yesterday and they are SCREAMING for attention. Thanks so much, I LOVE your blog!!

This looks so yummy! I love pumpkin and chocolate. (By the way, when I use the ‘print recipe’ link, the top is always cut off from the recipe so I can’t see the title. Am I doing something wrong?)

  Thanks for letting us know. I will look into the print function. Sorry about that!

What a great combination of flavors. Delicious!

Sarah — September 24, 2010 @ 10:18 am

Oh man, this is one of my favorite treats. It must feel more like fall in Utah than it does here in Nebraska. No fall colors, still hot and somewhat humid. But I am looking forward to fall smells and tastes. Mmm. Yum.

Rachel {Peanut Butter Budget} — September 24, 2010 @ 10:22 am

Hmm. . . I don’t know if any loaf will be leaving my kitchen. Pumpkin bread is one of my favorite ways to enjoy pumpkin. I love the addition of chocoate chips to your recipe.

Great minds think alike. I made one of these earlier this week. Great job! Love it and happy Friday!

Nancy — September 24, 2010 @ 1:29 pm

I tried this last night and it was amazing! My family loved it and I even was able to bring some into work for my coworkers so I can tell you this recipe is a rave! I also tried out a vegan egg nog recipe last night and it’s really delicious and went really well with this! This site also has a chai latte recipe for anyone else who is addicted to it, it would also go amazing with pumpkin, fall classics

For many fall seasons, I’ve always fallen back (no pun intended) on my banana bread recipe. I think it’s time to change things up and try something new! Thanks for sharing this gorgeous bread, Maria and Josh! I could really go for a slice right now, and tomorrow morning, too!
