Ingredients
See recipe card below this post for ingredient quantities and full instructions.
- Flour
- Pumpkin spice – store-bought, or make your own!
- Salt
- Baking soda – For best results, use baking soda that’s less than a month old.
- Eggs – Get them out ahead of time so they can come to room temperature.
- Sugar
- Canned pumpkin or homemade puree – Make sure to use pure pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling. The only ingredient should be pumpkin!
- Canola oil
- Semi-sweet chocolate chips – Dark chocolate chips or milk chocolate chips would taste great, too.
Tip
For added flavor and crunch, try folding in chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans, too!
Substitutions
- Flour – All-purpose is best, but for a healthier muffin, substitute whole grain flour. You can also use cup-for-cup gluten-free flour. If you do, add an extra egg.
- Pumpkin Puree – If you have a can of pumpkin pie filling, you can use it instead of the canned puree and omit the pumpkin pie spice.
How To Make Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread
- Prepare: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees, and grease two 8×4 inch loaf pans.
- Mix the dry ingredients: Combine the flour, pumpkin spice, salt, and baking soda, and set aside.
- Beat the wet ingredients: Beat the eggs, sugar, pumpkin, and oil in a separate mixing bowl.
- Combine the wet and dry ingredients: Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just moistened. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool the bread in the pans for ten minutes. Then, remove the loaves, and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Pumpkin bread is delicious on its own or served warm, topped with butter. Enjoy!
Tip
If you hit chocolate with your toothpick, wipe it off and pick a different spot to check on the doneness of your bread.
How to Store Homemade Pumpkin Bread
As long as you keep it in an airtight container, you can store it for 1-2 days at room temperature. To keep it fresh longer, put it in an airtight container and store it in the fridge. It should keep fresh for up to 5 days.
Tip
Using room temperature ingredients and avoiding overmixing and overbaking are the keys to a perfectly soft quick bread texture.
FAQ
Test with a toothpick or knife. If it comes out sticky or gooey, put the bread back in the oven for five minutes. The top should also spring back slightly if you touch it. If you leave a finger indent, it is undercooked.
You may have too much moisture. Measure the ingredients exactly, using the scoop and level method, to make sure the texture is right.
Cool the finished bread completely, for 1-2 hours. Then, wrap it with foil or plastic wrap, and place it in a plastic bag or storage container. Pumpkin bread keeps for 1-2 days at room temperature but it can be refrigerated for 5 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
Check your oven temperature. If the pumpkin bread is browned or even burned on the outside but not cooked in the middle, lower the oven temperature. Try baking it at 325 instead of 350.
