Dark Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread is a moist, warmly spiced loaf infused with rich pumpkin flavor and studded with gooey dark chocolate chips. It’s the perfect cozy treat for fall mornings, afternoon snacks, or a simple dessert.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil or melted butter
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice (or 1 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 tsp nutmeg, 1/4 tsp ginger, pinch of cloves)
  • 3/4 cup dark chocolate chips (plus extra for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, eggs, oil, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and pumpkin pie spice.
  4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fold in dark chocolate chips.
  6. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top, if desired.
  7. Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with moist crumbs.
  8. Cool in pan for 10–15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep the loaf tender.Use canned pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling.Add chopped nuts for crunch or use mini loaf pans for shorter bake time.Can be made dairy-free with oil and dairy-free chocolate chips.Wrap and freeze slices individually for quick snacks later.
