Super moist and satisfying but not overly sweet...I give you, The Perfect Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Loaf!
There’s something about this time of year that makes me want to make this recipe, and I don’t hold back! I make this several times each winter/fall, and I’ve tweaked the recipe to get it, in my opinion, perfect.
It’s super moist and satisfying but not overly sweet, and it’s very easy to make. Like, a five-year old could do it (which I’d like to watch).
(PS. If I did a shot every time I typed “load” instead of “loaf” I’d be dead in an hour.)
You can serve your pumpkin loaf on its own or go ahead and slather some butter on a warm slice...mmm!!!
So, here's what you'll need to make these slices of fall delight for yourself.
Ingredients
- Flour
- Baking soda
- Salt
- Pumpkin pie spice
- Cinnamon
- Pumpkin puree (NOT pumpkin pie filling!)
- White sugar
- Brown sugar
- Two eggs
- Vegetable oil
- Chocolate chips
And some butter or cooking spray to grease your loaf pan really well!

Yum! The pumpkin and chocolate pair together perfectly in this loaf bread. The bread was simple to make, was moist and delish - an added bonus is how good my home smelled while baking!
