Autumn truly brings out our love of pumpkin spice and what better way to celebrate that than with our delicious pumpkin chocolate chip bread? We enjoy this recipe so much that we tend to make it all year round.

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F with an oven rack in the middle.
  2. Lightly spray a 9×5 inch metal bread pan with canola spray.
  3. Get out a large mixing bowl and a medium mixing bowl.
  4. Set up a cooling rack.

STEP TWO – Make the Batter

Ingredients:

  3. In the medium mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, chocolate chips, and nuts.
  4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and incorporate without overmixing.

    1. Thank you! And yes, you can use applesauce as long as it’s thick. The pumpkin purree works because of its thickness so if the apple sauce is too thin or runny the consistency of the bread will be off. Hope that helps!
