This chocolate chip pumpkin bread recipe is packed full of chocolate and pumpkin flavor. It’s the perfect recipe for Fall!

Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread

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!

This pumpkin quick bread recipe makes two full loaves 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!

  1. Oh my goodness, this looks delicious! 😀 And any viable reason for delicious dessert bread in the house is more than welcome – it being Fall and getting chilly-ish is a reason, right?! 😉
