Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Spice Bread

From the Blog Author

This Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Spice Bread is one of my favorites because every slice feels like a cozy hug from the inside out. The first time I mixed the batter in a bright kitchen, my roommate smelled pumpkin spice and chocolate chips and said it smelled like the holidays early. What I love most is how the golden pumpkin puree makes the loaf wonderfully moist, while a gentle swirl of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and a pinch of cloves turns the whole thing into a fragrant, warm comfort. The dark chocolate chips give each bite a satisfying bite‑to‑sweet contrast, and the crumb stays tender even after a few days in the fridge thanks to a splash of buttermilk. A little tip that made the bunch flawless for me is to let the batter chill in the fridge for 20 minutes before baking. It tightens the gluten and lets the spices really bloom in the oven. If you give this a try, I’d love to hear about it—send us an email and tell us what you think.

Frequently Asked Questions

How should I store leftover Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Spice Bread to keep it fresh?

This moist bread is best stored tightly wrapped in plastic wrap or in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, you can freeze slices wrapped individually for up to three months; thaw at room temperature before serving.

Can I substitute the coconut oil in this recipe for another fat?

Yes, you can substitute the 1/3 cup of melted coconut oil with an equal amount of melted unsalted butter or a neutral-flavored oil like canola or vegetable oil. Ensure any substitute fat is slightly cooled before mixing it with the wet ingredients like the pumpkin puree and Greek yogurt.

What is the best way to check if my Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Spice Bread is fully baked?

Since this is a dense quick bread, check for doneness after the full 55 minutes of baking time at 350°F (175°C) by inserting a toothpick into the center of the loaf. If the toothpick comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs attached, it is ready to remove from the oven.
