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!
The best thing 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!
