Yup, Pumpkin and Chocolate Chip Bread Ingredients are Pantry Staples

Aside from pumpkin puree and walnuts, most of the ingredients of this pumpkin and chocolate chip bread recipe are pantry staples. 

You don’t even need to bring out your bulky stand mixer for this simple fall recipe—it’s a whisk-friendly recipe! Our favorite kind of recipe.

But in case you did want a stand mixer, check out this list of great stand mixers!

Preheat Your Oven

Before you continue, preheat your oven at 350° F (or 180° C) for 15 to 20 minutes.

Please don’t skip this step. 

You have to preheat your oven and allow it time to reach the correct temperature before you put your pumpkin and chocolate chip bread in it. This step ensures your bread won’t come out undercooked. 

Now that’s out of the way… 

Bring your large mixing bowl out, a whisk, and your bread pan… and we’re ready to go!

Get Started: Combine Liquids

If you’re like us and you love one-bowl recipes, then you’ll fall in love with this recipe. 

The secret of one-bowl recipes boils down to starting with liquids before mixing in solids. 

So start by cracking two eggs in your mixing bowl, then adding a cup of granulated sugar and ¾ cup oil. 

FYI, I use regular vegetable oil for any baked goods that I want to turn out moist and fluffy.

You can whisk everything in the bowl, or do it later after adding a cup of pumpkin puree and a teaspoon of vanilla extract.

Add Dry Ingredients

Add half a cup of flour, ½ teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and about two teaspoons of ground cinnamon. 

If your families are like ours and are obsessed with cinnamon, then 2 teaspoons may probably NOT be enough. Go ahead and add more ground cinnamon to taste.

Mix until everything is combined. 

Make sure there are no clumps of flour left but don’t over-mix.

Add the Walnuts

On a chopping board, get ¾-cup of walnuts and chop them fairly coarsely or finely. This depends on your personal preference—We love walnuts chopped coarsely for the added crunch on any recipe. 

But if you’re just looking for some texture, finely chopped walnuts would be perfect because the chocolate chips would add more texture to the bread.

Now combine the chopped walnuts with a cup of chocolate chips. 

Set aside half of your walnut-chocolate mix on your chopping board. For the other half, drop them into your batter, and stir them in.

Prep for the Oven to Bake the Pumpkin and Chocolate Chip Bread

Get your 14-inch loaf pan, grease it lightly, and place wax paper.

Yes, you may skip the oil or wax paper if you’re using either a non-stick or silicone loaf pan.

Transfer your batter into the prepared loaf pan,  then top it off with the remaining chocolate chips and chopped walnuts.

Bake the Pumpkin and Chocolate Chip Bread

Bake in your oven for about 45-55 minutes. 

I know this may be the most challenging part, but you have to let it cool for a while before serving.

After 5 to 10 minutes, you can now slice your pumpkin and chocolate chip bread and enjoy!

This Fall-baking recipe is perfectly eaten either hot or cold, so if there are leftovers, you can refrigerate and reheat for breakfast the next day.
