A simple, forgiving, and comforting pumpkin chocolate chip bread recipe perfect for fall baking. Made in one bowl with pantry staples, it delivers a moist, spiced loaf with melty chocolate chips.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger (optional)
  • 1 cup (about 245g) pure pumpkin puree
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup (50g) brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup (80ml) vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (175g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray, or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger (if using). Stir to evenly distribute.
  3. Add the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; do not overmix.
  4. Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly.
  5. Scrape the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  6. Bake for 55-65 minutes, starting to check at 55 minutes by inserting a toothpick into the center. It should come out with a few moist crumbs but no raw batter. Tent with foil if the top browns too quickly.
  7. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs for better emulsification. Do not overmix the batter to avoid a tough loaf. Test baking soda freshness with vinegar fizz test. Tent with foil if top browns too fast. Cool bread completely before slicing to prevent gummy texture. For gluten-free, use 1:1 gluten-free flour blend. For dairy-free, use dairy-free chocolate chips and plant-based oil. Variations include adding nuts, spices like cloves or cardamom, or mixing in mashed banana.
