Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread
video
This bread is the fluffiest and most flavorful basic recipe you need for pumpkin bread. Feel free to add in walnuts, seeds or just make it plain. It stands on its own perfectly well, without any added supplements. And it will have your home smelling incredible.
The ingredients here are pretty straight forward of which you most likely own since it is November 1st and pumpkin is running rampant. Any sugar works, any milk works and any neutral oil works (such as coconut oil, olive oil or sunflower oil).
When you’re using regular all purpose flour, you do not want to over mix the batter. If you do, it will produce a chewy consistency that no one wants any part of. PRO TIP: Right before you feel like its completely incorporated, that’s when you fold in the chocolate chips.
This loaf is the iconic breakfast treat with a nice Greek coffee or latte or basic coffee. Or even better, the late afternoon coffee and pumpkin snack bread. The smell of this bread will undoubtedly put a smile on your face for days.

AMAZING!!! I literally took the first bite of this and immediately sighed because this pumpkin loaf was so good. I didn’t have regular milk on hand so subbed in half Greek yogurt and half almond milk because I was worried the almond milk would be too thin on its own – and it worked out really well! Also skipped out on including chocolate chips in the batter and instead just sprinkled a bunch on top for the perfect amount of sweetness. Will definitely be making this again.
Hi Leah, Great subs! Thanks for coming back to share your feedback with everyone!
are you working on a cookbook?
Hi Debbie, yes i am! thank you for asking- will be out soon!
I’m not the greatest that baking in general. Lol Is there an option to make this as low-carb? With like almond flour or something else? And what would the replacement be?
The whole family loved this pumpkin bread! I didn’t use chocolate chips and no one seemed to mind. I’ll be stocking up on the pumpkin puree…think we’ll be making it a lot this fall!
this looks so yummy..wanna try this
Hi Anie, You should definitely try this loaf!
i looove this bread. I forgot to add spices and also used sweet potato instead, but it is so yummy. I used my frier/oven on 170 celsius for about 40 min and I am having trouble working out the cooking time. i put a toothpick in but because if the chocolate I saw a bit of melted stuff but I was not sure if it cooked properly so I put it back on for another 10. still it seems a bit wet, not sure if it is cooked, yet it tastes super good. any tips? shall I put it back in for 10 or is it too late now, as it is now “cooked” and cold…. efjaristo poli! sorry if misspelt
Can I substitute gluten free flour and maple syrup or banana as the sweetener
Loved this! I made it today and it tasted great. The kids loved it too. I accidentally forgot to add the pumpkin pie spice and it still tasted good. Very easy recipe. I used gluten free all purpose flour because of food allergies and the texture was still great.
Hi Kristyn, SORRY for responding so late but I’m happy you and the family loved the loaf! And thank you for the review!
