This tasty Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread has just the right amount of sweet, spice, and chocolate. Plus it makes five loaves of pumpkin bread!
Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread
So here lies my Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread recipe! It’s taken me a while to create a pumpkin bread recipe that I can’t stop eating, mainly because I’m picky and I like my pumpkin bread made a certain way. {All other bread, however, I am not so picky about and I consume with a vengeance.}
Main Ingredients
Well, folks, this is the best pumpkin chocolate chip bread recipe ever. AND, I love it because it takes an entire 29 oz can of pumpkin!! You know the big ones I’m talking about, right? I always open one of those up, pull out half a cup and end up tossing the rest because I never get around to making other pumpkin goodies. Soooo, I made a recipe that requires an ENTIRE HUGE CAN OF IT.
Here are all of the other ingredients you need to make this recipe:
- Sugar and Brown Sugar – to sweeten and to keep this bread soft.
- Vegetable Oil – once again, lots of moisture here.
- Eggs – these are used for the structure of the bread.
- Flour and Baking Soda – to fill out the bread and to help it rise!
- Salt, Cinnamon, Cloves, and Nutmeg – lots of seasonings here. Salt to help enhance and balance. Cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg to go along with the pumpkin flavor.
- Almond Milk – or regular milk! Either way, these are used for even more moisture.
- Mini Chocolate Chips – you can also use regular sized chips here but I just love mini chocolate chips. They don’t overwhelm the bread but instead become apart of each bite.
How to Make Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread
Anyways, this recipe makes 5 loaves of pumpkin bread! FIVE! One for me, four for the freezer. Or friends. {But really, the freezer.} I was never good at sharing. 😉 Make then hog or share as desired. For full details see the recipe card down below.
- Preheat oven. Spray 5 loaf pans {9x5x3} with nonstick spray, line each with parchment paper {optional}, and spray paper lightly with more spray. Set aside.
- In an extra-large mixing bowl, stir sugar and oil together to combine. Add in eggs and beat well. Scrape sides and stir again briefly.
- In a separate bowl, stir dry ingredients together. Alternate stirring in dry ingredients with almond milk beating at low speed until all just combined. Spoon in pumpkin and stir. Scrape sides and beat again so everything is incorporated evenly. Add in chocolate chips and stir.
- Divide evenly between prepared pans and bake until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool loaves in their pans and then remove to cool completely before slicing.

Just reaching out to say how much I enjoy your recipes and brains! Your recipe index is the one I come to over and over again. Making this recipe, again, to deliver to friends. Thanks for your efforts and hard work!!!
I love ANYTHING pumpkin…add chocolate chips and swoon! I’m so excited to try your “big batch” recipe and make enough to share…maybe! 😬. Pam
I just made this a few days ago; it went to work, a family dinner, and disappeared at home. So, so, yummy, and a great option for the family members who only use almond milk! Thank you!

I made this tonight! My oven must have been a bit off because they took much longer than expected and got a little toasty. I normally don’t like that toasty flavor, but even the brown parts were AMAZING! I have a bunch of friends due with babies this month and I’m so glad I’ll be able to freeze this bread and deliver some to them along with a lovely meal! Thanks for my new favorite pumpkin bread recipe, Lauren!
can I use cake flour instead? and what would happen if I used coconut flour (to make it paleo). is granulated sugar normal table sugar? I don’t know where to buy canned pumpkin in south Africa, can I use fresh pumpkin instead? what difference would it make if I used butternut? sorry for all the questions!
This looks amazing! And now that it’s officially fall, I can make it without being judged too harshly!! Not like that matters to me when it comes to pumpkin! Thanks for sharing!
Looks delicious, and hooray for using up the whole can of pumpkin! But I don’t own 5 loaf pans, so can you tell me approximately how much batter per loaf, since I’ll have to bake them one at a time?
I’m 34 weeks preggers and making freezer meals and snacks to stock up – this recipe will be perfect! Thank you!
