You know a chocolate chip pumpkin bread recipe is good when it bakes two loaves and they’re both gone within a week. That may not seem that fast to those of you with large families, but there are only two people living here. It was fast!
I usually give pumpkin the solo spotlight, but when I was gathering spices from my pantry for the recipe, I caught sight of a bag of chocolate chips. Oooooo! The only problem was that I had no idea if chocolate and pumpkin went together.
So I decided to make one loaf with the chocolate chips and one without, but then I threw caution to the chocolate winds and added chips to everything! Yolo. Or somethin’.
Thank goodness it worked — delicious!
And it was so easy to make. Take a look:
Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread
- 2¼ cups flour
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp nutmeg
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 (15 oz can) pure pumpkin
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- Combine flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder and salt in mixing bowl.
- Add eggs, sugar, pumpkin and oil. Mix until well blended. Stir in chocolate chips.
- Spoon batter into two greased and floured 9x5-inch loaf pans
- Bake at 350 for 55-60 minutes or until done
- Cool for 5-10 minutes; remove from pans and cool completely on wire rack before slicing.
The best thing about about this chocolate chip pumpkin bread recipe is that it freezes and reheats well. Once the loaves are completely cooled, I cut them into slices, place in loaf form inside a freezer bag and freeze. To reheat, grab a slice from the freezer, place it on a paper towel or plate and microwave for about 20 seconds. The chocolate chips get all melty in the warm bread, and it tastes absolutely scrumptious!

I love making breakfast breads, and you’re right about freezing the second – I’ve given my frozen breakfast breads to neighbors many times!
I just make some of these loaves the other day. My family loved them.
I’ve bookmarked to make this week! This looks absolutely delicious and what a fab way to use pumpkin this season as I know so much of it goes to waste purely for decorative purposes!
A bread with chocolate chips! This sounds like a my kind of bread! Never added pumpkin to a bread or cake – will definitely try this. Thanks for this great idea!
That looks so good! Chocolate chip pumpkin bread is my jam! And also chocolate chip zucchini bread. And chocolate chip banana bread. Pretty much anything with chocolate chips in it…

I absolutely agree Stacie! The more chips the better in my book!

I just made a big batch of pumpkin puree, so pretty sure I’m gonna be making this bread soon! Looks so good!!
This looks so amazing! I need to make this soon!
Uh OH–I could actually make this! I live alone and at least one of those loafs would be gone before I went to sleep!! It’s good to know it can be frozen–but I doubt that would be necessary around here!
The chocolate chip pumpkin bread looks really tasty. I would love to have them for breakfast, snacks or desserts.
I just made me some chocolate chip pumpkin bread with my Krusteaz mix. I knew I liked you for a reason we think alike when cooking.
Your pumpkin bread wouldn’t last long at all at my house. I can see me eating this for breakfast with a good cup of coffee or an afternoon snack with a tall glass of milk. I love the addition of chocolate chips. Chocolate makes everything better.
