I’ve wanted to redo our pumpkin bread recipe for a very long time. While it was fine, it wasn’t amazing — and I much prefer amazing to fine. So I added a little more of this, and a little less of that, but the most significant change was tossing in a large handful of chocolate chips. These tweaks took this quick bread from fine to way past amazing, and it turned out to be one of the best pumpkin breads I’ve ever had.
I realize that chocolate and pumpkin might not sound like a great pairing, but it really is! As long as you don’t use a too-sweet chip. I’d avoid milk chocolate and think semi-sweet would be fine, but for me the darker the better.
This is a fairly sweet bread, and by bread, I mean cake baked in a bread pan, so the official recommendation would be to use bittersweet chips. But, no matter which you choose, this new and improved pumpkin bread will make a wonderful addition to your fall table. I really do hope you give it a try soon. Enjoy!

Ingredients
-
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
-
1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt
-
1 teaspoon baking soda
-
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
-
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
-
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
-
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
-
1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin puree (NOT pumpkin pie filling)
-
1/2 cup white sugar
-
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
-
1/2 cup vegetable oil
-
2 tablespoons milk
-
2 large eggs
-
1/2 cup dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips
-
1/4 cup pumpkin seeds
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Butter a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
-
Whisk flour, salt, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg together in a bowl.
-
In another bowl, combine pumpkin, white sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, milk, and eggs. Whisk together until smooth.
-
Add the flour mixture, and whisk in gently until the flour almost disappears. Stir in the chocolate chips and pumpkin seeds until evenly distributed.
-
Use a spatula to transfer batter into the prepared loaf pan. Tap the pan on the table a few times to bring air bubbles to the surface.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick or wooden skewer inserted near the center comes out clean, 60 to 70 minutes.
-
Let cool in the pan about 45 minutes; remove to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
