Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread

I’m a little funny about pumpkin things. I’m sorry, but I cannot handle pumpkin spice lattes in August. It’s basically criminal in my opinion. But once October hits, anything is fair game especially when it comes in the form of Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread.

Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread is one of those quintessential recipes that reminds me of being at home. This is another recipe that my mom used to make for us in bulk so we could enjoy it for breakfast or dessert! I’ve spiced things up over the years, literally, and added in a few new spices like allspice, cloves and of course…. pumpkin pie spice. I’ve also loaded it up with a handful or two of some chocolate chips and now it’s perfection. It’s the perfect weekend baking project for a lazy Saturday or Sunday morning and once you make it, you’re well on your way to the most delicious quick bread that will ever grace your kitchen. It’s a little bit spiced, a little bit sweet, a little bit chocolatey and a whole lotta delicious.

  14. I waited until October too to break out the pumpkin. I can’t deal with it in August….Pinterest and I don’t agree on this point. This bread looks amazing. I certainly prefer my pumpkin with chocolate chips!

    2. Ok, I entered the recipe as is on my calorie counting app and divided each loaf by 12 servings (total of 24 servings total – thin slices, I know!) and the calories came out to 288 per serving. Perfect for dessert! Got all my ingredients, will make it today. Thanks for sharing this recipe!

  16. Maulin, does your app possibly give carb count, please, for the same 24 slices? Thank you! My son would live this!!

      Made this bread tonight and it was DELICIOUS!!! Great recipe, great treat. A winner! 😀

  17. Sounds yummy, but I would “clean” mine up with a non-wheat flour and either Truvia or Splenda brown sugar. As to pumpkin; I eat it all year long. I don’t get waiting to eat something that is so yummy and so good for you! (For the record, I eat sweet potatoes all year long as well!)

    1. absolutely!! same temp and they’ll need about 20 minutes! keep your eyes on them at 18 minutes and then pop them out when they are done. Just use a knife to see if the inside is baked through 🙂

  29. I am one of those people who loves those PSL from Starbucks the second the come out… but I hold off baking with pumpkin until seasonally acceptable!
    I can’t wait to try this loaf!

  33. How long will this bread hold up uncut? If I make it late Thursday night would it still be good Sunday if it is wrapped? How would you recommend wrapping it. I got asked to make it for a camping brunch but it won’t be needed til Sunday.

    1. You can totally keep it for a few days. Just bake it, let it cool entirely and then wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate or freeze until it’s time to eat!! I keep mine in the freezer for weeks before cutting into it!

  35. Just made these into muffins! SOO YUM! But all the chocolate chips sunk to the bottom! I think my baking powder is “dead”. Will definitely make this again.

  37. IF I WANT THIS WITH WHITE CHOCOLATE CHIPS DO I NEED TO CHANGE ANYTHING ON THE RECIPE? TEMPERATURE OR AMOUNT OF ANYTHING?

  39. Hi Gaby! I’m obsessed with this bread and have made the recipe 3 times since your snapisode (and for me is makes 3 loaves/recipe!) This time I actually made w intentions to freeze and give later, how do you recommend reviving from frozen? Also, if I plan to serve it in a week would you recommend freezing and defrosting or just keeping in fridge? THANK YOU!

    1. Hey Caitlin!

      After I freeze mine, I just pop it out of the freezer and let it come to room temp on the counter if I’m serving it that day. Then I just store it in the fridge after that!

      Alternatively, sometimes i just want a slice and I’ll take the frozen loaf, slice off a slice, and the pop the slice in the microwave for a hot second and then put the rest of the loaf back into the freezer.

      And for a week from now – I’d just freeze and then thaw the morning of 🙂 xx

  42. How can I make this in a standard glass 9×5 baking pan? What would the measuring conversion and temperature difference be? Thank you! This (and the rest of your site), looks delish! 🙂

    1. I haven’t tested it for that size pan so I’m not sure! But it would be the same oven temp and the same ingredients – just unsure about baking time. Sorry.

    I made this last week and have been meaning to review. This pumpkin recipe is the best! I mean throw away any other recipe you’ve been using. The only change I made was reduced cloves to 1/2 tsp and upped the pumpkin pie spice to 1 tsp. I am not a huge clove fan. Seriously this is a good one. Made two loaves and they were gone in two days. Don’t wait for “pumpkin season” to make.
