The Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread I made for the Great American Bake Sale is my family’s favorite quick bread. It’s moist and tender and sweet and delicious. It makes a great after school snack and it’s sweet enough to serve for dessert. I’ve tweaked the recipe until I think I’ve got it just right. I hope you’ll give it a try and let me know what you think.
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread
Yields 2 Medium Loaves3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 cup butter, soften
2 cups granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1 16 oz can of pure pumpkin
1 1/2 cup chocolate chips1. Preheat oven to 350˚F and spray two medium loaf pans with nonstick cooking spray, or four/five mini loaf pans (5 3/4 x 3 1/4 x 2 1/4. Don’t fill more than 2/3 full.)
2. In a medium bowl, mix the flour, spices, salt, baking soda, and baking powder and set aside.
3. In the bowl of a stand mixer cream the butter and the sugar until fluffy, about two minutes. Add eggs one at a time mixing well after each addition. Add the pumpkin and combine well.
4. Add the dry ingredients stirring until just combined. Coat the chocolate chips with 2 T. flour and stir into batter.
5. Spoon batter into prepared pans. Bake side-by-side for about one hour or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. (Bake 35-40 minutes for the mini loaves.)Note: Substitute 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon plus 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg and 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves for 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice.

I didn't get to the bake sale until later, so I missed all of your bread! I'll have to make some now!
Your bread sounds wonderful! I love the combo of pumpkin and chocolate chips. I would of snatched a whole bunch of this up!
You have some of the best baked goods out here in the blog world! This combines two of my favorites with the pumpkin and chocolate. I would have bought several of these ;)

Wish I could have been there for your bake sale, sounds like it was a great success. Have never really eaten pumpkin – this sounds delicious.
Your breads were packaged so cute! Pumpkin choc bread makes me feel so fall-ish!
Ooo, that sounds so good. No wonder it sold out quickly! I'm sorry I wasn't there to buy some.
Sounds like Utah had a wonderful bake sale! We never got anything together in San Diego, but they did a big one up in LA. This looks like a lovely loaf :) Our fave flavors!
looks delicious
but I am puzzled at my country there is no pumpkin pie spice, pumpkin pie spice like what?
I make a pumpkin date bread (from Maida Heatter's cookbook) but I have to tell you this chocolate chip version sounds like a winner! Will definitely be making it in the fall!
So glad the bake sale was such fun and such a success!
aneka resep – thanks for your question. You can substitute 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon plus 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg and 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves for 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice. I updated the recipe with a note at the end that gives the substitution.
Je n'ai jamais fait de pain au potiron.
Avec les épices en plus, il doit être délicieux.
Je note ta recette.
A bientôt.

This is my husbands favorite! I can't wait to surprise him!
Another great looking quickbread Barbara. I have all the ingredients in my pantry so I think I'll be baking this up next. I would have bought several loaves at the Bake Sale.
How funny, I have a bag of frozen pumpkin puree (from October!) defrosting in my fridge right now. This looks like a great recipe for it. Love the addition of chocolate chips. :)
what a great bread..what a great event-I'm glad it was a sucess

Yumm…this is a terrific bread that would be so appreciated by friends and family!
Barbara, so happy to have your recipes for all the breads you brought to the sale. I'm so glad I snagged the one I did because they were all gone when I came back two hours later! I will be baking with your recipes soon.
Pumpkin is my all time favorite and this looks nothing short of amazing. I lost my favorite pumpkin bread recipe and have been on the look out for a replacement and I think I might have just found it! Hope our having a great weekend.
I LOVE pumpkin bread! My daughter has a recipe that is fabulous, but I want to try yours now too!
I've been craving pumpkin lately but I keep avoiding it. One look at your pumpkin bread and I think I just caved.
Barbara,
I had to leave another comment telling you I made this bread and it was excellent. I actually just posted about it on my blog and linked back to your recipe. Thanks for a wonderful recipe that is now a family favorite.
Thank you so much for sharing! This sounds sooo good!
