Through the year I make a lot of Chocolate Chip Banana Bread Loaves, so changing it up and making some Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread is a welcome addition to the Fall season.

You can easily say my bread transforms with the seasons, because soon it’ll be time to make this Cranberry Eggnog Bread.

Welcome fall and all the fall flavors!

I set out this season to make more recipes with pumpkin, asking friends for their favourite recipes to try.

I wanted to increase the ‘pumpkin’ collection in my recipe box, thinking it will perhaps will decrease the amount of Pumpkin Spice Lattes that I make at home.

When really, it doesn’t. I can’t stop the lattes! Especially when I make my Pumpkin Spice Coffee Creamer and pair it with my favorite fall recipe.

I also love incorporating seasonal foods with breakfasts, like making these Pumpkin Spice Cream Cheese Muffins.

This recipe along with these muffins, are my kids favourite fall breakfasts before they go off to school.

So, a friend sent me s Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread recipe, though it was more of a ‘I don’t bake so can you make this for me?’ request. 

What can I say, I’m a dedicated friend, so I made this easy bread that same day.

Bread and Chocolate

This homemade pumpkin bread is really easy to make, it uses canned pumpkin puree and a few key ingredients that you most likely have on hand at all times.

I also used the jumbo chocolate chips because, well, chocolate. I love milk chocolate chips, yet you can always use dark chocolate chips if that is more to your liking.

The days of bland pumpkin bread are behind us, because this bread tastes like a dessert.
