This Pumpkin Chocolate chip bread is one of the treats that marks the start of the baking season for me. Don’t you just love this approaching season? The time of food planning, baking, and cooking. I enjoy the buzz and excitement of talking about what will be served on Christmas or New Years and who will bring what dishes and so and so.

Now to start it light and easy, we have this pumpkin loaf. A chocolatey bread but it is not rich or sweet to overwhelm anyone in your family who does not have a sweet tooth.

I do believe that you cannot go wrong with a simple chocolate baked treat. For a quick chocolate fix,  a slice or two of this bread and you will be satisfied.

And let me also mention that this is so easy to do. If you are not up to elaborate baking, or you want a simple chocolate treat on a lazy day of Fall, this is your recipe.

One bowl, no mixer and easily baked in a loaf pan, you will have this tasty pumpkin chocolate chip bread out of the oven in no time.

How to Make Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread?

2. Add the cocoa powder, pumpkin puree, sour cream, eggs, brown sugar, baking soda, salt and vanilla. Whisk everything together until smooth and well combined.
3. Add the flour gradually and stir, until its incorporated and the batter is mostly smooth. Do not overmix.
4. Fold in half of the chocolate chips. 
5. Transfer the batter into a 9×5 inch loaf pan that is lined with parchment paper. Level the batter using an offset spatula. Top the batter with the remaining chocolate chips.
6. Bake the bread at 350 F for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted at the center of the bread comes out clean with some bits of moist crumbs.
