Easy Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread Recipe

Hey guys! In addition to sharing my recipe for one of the EASIEST and BEST Pumpkin Bread Recipes out there… I’m hosting a $175 giveaway on the blog with some of my BEST blogging buddies!

If you’re here for the giveaway, no worries! Just skip to the bottom of the blog and enter! I’d love for one of my readers to win this awesome giveaway!

I’m a firm believer in keeping things simple and that even means for Thanksgiving.

Since Christy and Chloe were coming and I know they really like pumpkin cookies I thought I’d try something different and made my favorite Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread Recipe!

It’s such a simple recipe and even easier to make than the cookies because there is no standing at the counter, portioning them out and waiting to pull them out of the oven.

So much easier and so tasty too!

Easy Quick Bread Recipe

Ingredients for Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread Recipe

• spice cake box mix – yes you are reading that right! Using a box mix for a great flavor shortcut!
• canned pumpkin puree – be sure to get pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie mix.
• eggs – to add richness and helps the bread rise.
• oil – use corn or canola oil.
• chocolate chips – this time I used a combination of mini chocolate chips and dark chocolate. Use your favorite!
• chopped walnuts – the nuts are optional, but I think they really add great texture to this quick bread.

What can I add to pumpkin bread?

I love chopped walnuts, but you can really add your favorite nuts!

• walnuts, almonds, hazelnuts or pecans – so tasty!
• sprinkle the top with toasted pumpkin seeds before baking.
• chocolate chips; milk chocolate, dark chocolate – such a great pairing with pumpkin.
• slather sour cream frosting over the top of the loaf after it cools – THAT will take it to the next level!

How do you keep pumpkin bread moist?

The oil in this recipe really helps keep this loaf moist. After it’s baked, just be sure to wrap it well. That will keep it from drying out.

Do you refrigerate pumpkin bread?

Yes, you’ll want to refrigerate it to extend the shelf life. If you’re going to gobble it down that first day, no problem! It will last on the counter just a couple of days.

For longer shelf life, wrap it in plastic and then foil. Refrigerated it will last 5-7 days. Freezer up to 3 months.

How do you know when pumpkin bread is done?

Test it with a toothpick – insert it into the center of the loaf, if it comes out clean, it’s done!

How do you get pumpkin bread out of the pan?

• Be sure to spray the pan well with non-stick cooking spray prior to adding the dough.
• After removing it from the oven, allow it to rest 10 minutes, then run a knife around the edges, invert it and the loaf will slip right out.
• Set the loaf on a cooling rack and allow it to cool completely before slicing.
