Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).

2. Step 2

   While the oven warms up, grab two 9x5-inch loaf pans and give them a light spray with cooking spray to ensure your delicious bread doesn’t stick.

3. Step 3

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the rich pumpkin puree with white sugar, brown sugar, beaten eggs, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice.

4. Step 4

   Mix everything together until it’s beautifully blended and smooth.

5. Step 5

   Next, gently fold in the self-rising flour, stirring just until the batter comes together—remember, a little bit of care goes a long way, so avoid overmixing! Now, it’s time to add a touch of sweetness: fold in the semisweet chocolate chips, making sure they’re evenly distributed throughout the batter for those delightful bursts of chocolate in every bite.

6. Step 6

   Once your batter is ready, divide it evenly between the two prepared loaf pans, filling them just right.

7. Step 7

   Place the pans in your preheated oven and let them bake for about an hour.

8. Step 8

   You’ll know they’re done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, signaling that your bread is perfectly baked.

9. Step 9

   After the timer goes off, let the loaves cool in the pans for about 15 minutes.

10. Step 10

    This is the perfect time to savor the warm, inviting aroma wafting through your kitchen! Once they’ve cooled a bit, carefully transfer the loaves to a wire rack to cool completely.

    Enjoy the anticipation as you wait to slice into your homemade pumpkin chocolate chip bread!.
