Pumpkin chocolate chip bread is one of my favorite fall treats, ever. I love fall baking in general but I love quick breads like pumpkin chocolate chip bread because it dirties so few dishes and doesn’t take much hands on time. I sometimes make these into muffins though because my kids like it more that way. The combination of both oil and melted butter make this bread both moist and flavorful. If you don’t have pumpkin pie spice you can google how to make your own blend, it’s really simple.

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 25-70 minutes
Total Time: 45-90 minutes
Yield: 2-3 loaves or about 30 muffins 1x

Ingredients

Scale

1, 15 oz can pumpkin purée

4 large eggs, room temp

1/2 cup butter, melted and cooled (113 g)

1/2 cup vegetable oil (109 g)

2/3 cup water (158g)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

3 cups white sugar (600g)

3 1/2 cups flour (455 g)

2 teaspoons baking soda

1 1/2 teaspoons salt

1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice

1 1/2 cup dark chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate chips, optional

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325 for bread or 350 for muffins. Spray 2-3 bread loaf pans or 2 muffin tin pans with cooking spray or butter and flour them to make sure they don’t stick when trying to remove.

In a large bowl combine the pumpkin, eggs, butter, vegetable oil, water, vanilla, and sugar till well mixed. You can do it with a whisk by hand or with an electric mixer.

In a small mixing bowl combine the flour, baking soda, salt, pumpkin pie spice, and chocolate chips till combined well.

Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon till just combined. It may look like there’s still some flour lumps, that’s okay.

Fill each bread loaf pan or muffin tin 2/3-3/4 full of batter.

Cook bread till a toothpick comes out clean. For bread it will take about 50-70 minutes. Muffins will take about 25 minutes.

Remove to a cooling rack and let bread cool for 45 minutes before removing it from the pan to finish cooling. For the muffins, let cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to finish cooling on a cooling rack.

Notes

It’s hard for me sometimes to put specific times on baking things like bread because my oven in Finland is tiny and bakes things way fast compared to the big ovens in America. So, make sure you keep an eye on your bread or muffins as to not bake too long.
