I fell in love with the flavor of pumpkin a few years ago (here are just a few of the goodies I like to make with the flavorsome squash). I’ve been experimenting with it a bit more this season, and this delicious, moist, and autumn-centric Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread was a result of said testing. It pairs well on its own, or alongside a mug of steaming tea or coffee, and it is Zuni-approved 😉

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread
Yield: 1 Loaf
Ingredients:
- 1 1/3 cups sugar
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- ½ cup oil
- 1/3 cup water
- 2 eggs
- 1 ½ cups + 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
- ¼ teaspoon ground all-spice
- ¾ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°F and set aside a greased loaf pan.
In a large bowl, beat together sugar, pumpkin puree, oil, water, and eggs until smooth.
Add all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, baking powder, vanilla, cinnamon, and all-spice. Stir to combine. Fold in chocolate chips.
Pour batter into loaf pan and bake for 60 to 80 minutes, until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
Allow bread to rest for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack and cool completely.
Pumpkin and chocolate? This sounds amazing! The photos look great too 🙂

I love pumpkin!
It adds so much to any baked recipe that it is hard not to love it!
Bookmarked to try real soon
Lovely I bet a little bit of raisins won’t hurt either :)… Perfect for leftover pumpkin puree.
its not a lot of fun that pumpkin is not so popular in Pakistan as a desert but things are changing. I love the idea of this pie. Great job 🙂
That looks so moist and delicious !
I am always amazed at the variety of pumpkin recipes out there! To think before this year, I had only ever eaten it in savoury dishes!!
I want this for my breakfast right now lol
You have to share with me your photography know how, you definitely know how to work that camera! Baraak Allahu feeki
Dear Henna
I am simply impressed by your cooking and baking skills. Even the presentation and photography is fabulous. We usually make pumpkin curry and that we serve with white boiled rice with lemons to squeeze while eating. Keep up the good work. Luv, Tayyaba Hassan
Thank you for your kind words Tayyaba! I hope you stick around, I have a lot of fun things coming up 😉
