    About the recipe

    Fall is all about beautiful colors, aromatic flavors, and baking! Pumpkin and chocolate are like a match made in heaven.

    You can make pumpkin chocolate chip bread or pumpkin chocolate swirl bread with the same recipe. The bread is super moist, flavorful, and easy to make. You don't need any mixer or special equipment. Your kitchen is going to smell wonderful.

    Ingredients

    Pumpkin puree: Add the fall flavors and make your bread moist. You can use homemade or canned pumpkin puree.

    Oil: Use oil instead of butter for best and light bread. Vegetable oil or coconut oil works really well.

    Spice: I have used cinnamon and a pinch of cardamom and pumpkin spice. If you do not have the store-bought pumpkin spice, add a pinch of ginger powder, cloves, and nutmeg for flavor.

    See the recipe card below for a full list of ingredients and measurements.

    Step-by-step instructions

    How to make pumpkin chocolate chip bread?

    • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease your bread loaf pan and keep it ready. 
    • Whisk eggs until light and fluffy. Add pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, vanilla extract and whisk. 
    • In another bowl, add flour, salt, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon powder, pumpkin spice, cardamom powder and mix. 
    • Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. 
    • Add raisins, almonds, and chocolate chips and fold them in the batter if you want a simple pumpkin chocolate chip bread.
    • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. 

    To make pumpkin chocolate swirl bread

    • Instead of adding the chocolate chip to the batter, melt the chocolate chips in the microwave or use the double boiler method.
    • Spread a layer of pumpkin batter prepared on a loaf pan.
    • Then, spread a layer of melted chocolate.
    • Using a knife, gently swirl the chocolate into the pumpkin batter. Do not overdo it.
    • Now spread the remaining pumpkin batter and gently swirl once again.
    • Bake in preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes or until the knife or toothpick inserted comes out clean.

    Let the bread cool down completely before cutting it into slices. Serve with a cup of coffee for morning breakfast or as a dessert.

    Tips

    • Leftovers can be wrapped and stored at room temperature for four days or in the refrigerator for up to 10 days. You can also freeze this bread for up to three months. Thaw and reheat in the microwave before serving.
    • Love muffins? Bake pumpkin chocolate muffins using the same batter. The baking time will be approximately 18 minutes.
    • For fall parties or Thanksgiving dinner, you can also make pumpkin bundt cake with the same batter.

    Recipe FAQs

    What can I use if I don't have pumpkin pie spice?

    Use 1 teaspoon cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon ground ginger, ¼ teaspoon cloves, and a pinch of nutmeg, or simply use only cinnamon if that is all that you have in your pantry.

    Can I substitute whole wheat flour for all-purpose flour?

    You can bake this bread with wheat flour, but note that the bread will be denser.

    Can I use fresh pumpkin instead of canned pumpkin puree?

    Yes, you can use fresh homemade pumpkin puree for baking, but make sure you cook the mixture till it becomes smooth without any excess moisture. The texture should be equivalent to canned puree, or else the amount of flour will vary.
