Quick breads, like this chocolate chip pumpkin bread, are some of my favorite recipes to make because they are quick and easy! Plus you can eat a slice for breakfast or for a dessert. This chocolate chip pumpkin bread recipe is packed full of chocolate and pumpkin flavor. It’s the perfect recipe for Fall!

The original pumpkin quick bread recipe came from the Better Homes and Garden cookbook, but I changed some things around. I subbed some of the all purpose flour for whole wheat for added nutrients, and of course added in a generous helping of chocolate chips. I bet this quick bread recipe would be great with pecans or walnuts too, or a cream cheese swirl!

We love to enjoy a slice of chocolate chip pumpkin bread in the mornings with a warm mug of coffee, but it’s also great as a late night snack. There is so much pumpkin flavor packed into this quick bread recipe!

This pumpkin quick bread recipe makes two full loafs so you can freeze one for later. It will keep in the freezer for up to 3 months if wrapped in Saran Wrap first, then placed in a freezer bag. This is a great way to bake once, but have a nice loaf of chocolate chip pumpkin bread to snack on later!

If you only want to make one loaf, you can change the servings in the recipe card below to adjust the ingredients accordingly.
