Soft and moist Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread made with pumpkin puree, warm spices, and dark chocolate chips! This recipe comes together in one bowl making it super quick and easy! You are going to be making this pumpkin bread all season long! 

I don’t know about you, but Fall is my favorite season! It doesn’t get much better than cool mornings, all the pumpkin drinks, and having a front porch full of pumpkins and mums!

This chocolate chip pumpkin bread is going to become a weekly staple this Fall. It is made with cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and clove which gives the bread the best flavor! 

Ingredients in Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread

  • Oil: This recipe calls for a neutral oil like canola or vegetable oil. Using oil over butter in this recipe keeps the loaf super moist.
  • Pumpkin Puree: Use canned pumpkin puree.
  • Granulated Sugar: Use regular granulated white sugar.
  • Light Brown Sugar: Make sure to pack the brown sugar in the measuring cup when measuring.
  • Eggs: Use large room temperature eggs for this recipe.
  • Greek Yogurt: Use plain Greek yogurt. Sour cream also works great!
  • Vanilla Extract: Do not use imitation vanilla. Use pure vanilla extract for the best flavor.
  • All-purpose Flour: Make sure to use the spoon-and-level method to ensure the proper amount of flour is used. Adding too much flour will lead to a dense and dry bread.
  • Baking Powder: Baking powder gives the pumpkin bread the perfect rise and texture.
  • Baking Soda: Used in conjunction with baking powder for the perfect texture.
  • Spices: Use a combination of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and clove.
  • Salt: Balances the flavor of the pumpkin bread.
  • Dark Chocolate Chips: I like to use dark chocolate chips, but feel free to substitute with semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips.
