    How To Make Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread

    This pumpkin bread is a basic quick bread recipe that requires minimal prep work and cooks in about an hour. This recipe makes 2 loaves.

    1. Mix your wet ingredients. Start by creaming the sugar and butter together, then add in the eggs, pumpkin, vanilla, and milk and mix well.
    2. Mix your dry ingredients. In a large bowl, add the flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, cloves, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
    3. Combine your mixes. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
    4. Add the chocolate chips. Stir the chocolate chips into the batter, then pour the batter into your loaf pans. The dark chocolate chips add an extra decadent layer to this bread and pair great with the pumpkin. 
    5. Bake. Bake the loaves at 350 degrees for about an hour, or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted.

    So, there you go. Make this Easy Moist Pumpkin Bread With Chocolate Chips the night before, pair it with a pot of coffee, and Thanksgiving breakfast becomes one less headache you need to worry about. Check!

      I literally ate almost half the loaf yesterday while decorating for fall, it was that good and really got me into the spirit. I loved that it was easy and turned out just like yours. Will definitely make again.

      After I made this marvelous pumpkin bread the whole house was filled with such a delicious aroma I couldn't wait to slice into it. I loved how sweet and moist it turned out, I'd like to tinker around with it next time and maybe add some chopped nuts...can't wait.

      This was the first recipe I've made combining pumpkin and chocolate and I am now a fan of the flavor combo. The whole recipe was super easy to make and it had the right amount of pumpkin flavor.
