Chocolate chips in pumpkin bread are one of my favorite twists on pumpkin bread. The smooth chocolate melts in your mouth, accentuating the pumpkin flavors and giving you a delicious treat.
I love Starbucks coffee with this amazing pumpkin chocolate chip bread. It’s not too rich or sweet but tastes incredible and leaves you wanting more.
My grandmother’s pumpkin bread recipe is my standard, but a friend brought me a loaf of this bread, which I loved. The spices were more intense, and the texture was more cake-like — light and fluffy. She said it was called Downeast Pumpkin Bread, so I went home immediately to look it up. I will say that adding chocolate chips makes this recipe perfect; without them, I’d stick to my Grandma Marge’s recipe.

How do you make Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread?
Preheat oven to 350; grease three bread loaf pans or two larger ones.
Add the pumpkin, sugar, water, oil, vanilla extract, and eggs into a mixing bowl. Mix until well combined.
Add the dry ingredients to the bowl, including the flour, seasonings, and baking soda. Mix until combined and no chunks of flour are visible.
Fill the prepared bread pans to three-fourths full. Top with remaining chocolate chips.
Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 60 – 75 minutes using a 9×5 loaf pan. If baking in smaller pans, bake 3 loaves for 45-60 minutes.
Depending on your oven, the bread may take a different amount of time to bake. To check if it is done, insert a toothpick into the center of the loaf.
