A moist and tender pumpkin chocolate chip bread with a golden crust, perfect for cozy fall mornings or anytime you want a comforting sweet treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup (150 g) granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup (50 g) brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup (80 ml) vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup (240 g) pure pumpkin puree
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (170 g) chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: all-purpose flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, combine the wet ingredients: granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, pumpkin puree, and vanilla extract. Beat gently until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and fold together just until combined, avoiding overmixing.
  5. Gently fold in the chocolate chips, reserving a few to sprinkle on top if desired.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smooth the top, and sprinkle reserved chocolate chips evenly.
  7. Bake for 55-65 minutes, starting to check at 55 minutes by inserting a toothpick into the center. It should come out with a few moist crumbs but no raw batter. Tent with foil if the top browns too fast.
  8. Let the bread cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling. For gluten-free, substitute flour with almond flour blend and adjust baking time. For dairy-free, use coconut oil and dairy-free chocolate chips. Avoid overmixing the batter to keep bread tender. Let bread cool completely before slicing to set chocolate chips. Tent with foil if crust browns too quickly.
