How to make chocolate chip pumpkin bread
This recipe is super easy. It's all made in one bowl. One bowl recipes are my fave. Ain't nobody got time for tons of dishes. Although, more often than not I prefer to hand wash dishes than put them in the dishwasher- is that weird? Not on recipe testing days though!! Dishwasher all the way baby!!
Anyways start in a large bowl add the melted butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar and mix to combine. Then whisk in eggs, vanilla extract, and pumpkin purée. Whisk it real good.
Then add the flour, baking soda, salt, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, and ground cloves. Gently fold the dry ingredients until just combined then fold in chocolate chunks/chips.
(Don't you just wanna dive into that bowl of pumpkin batter and chocoalte chunks- I sure do!)
Pour the batter into the prepared pan. I am over the top so naturally, I added some brown sugar on top- you know just for a little crunch. Totally do not have to do this.
Bake for approximately 40 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean with no wet batter. Let cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before inverting to cool completely. Store in an airtight container.

Your recipe sounds delicious and I look forward to making it! I do have a question though. In the ingredients list you call for ground nutmeg along with cinnamon and cloves. But in the instructs you say add the ground ginger. Which one did you use ginger or nutmeg? I look forward to hearing back soon because I really want to try this!

Hi Sandy- sorry for the confusion. Thanks for catching it! I used ground ginger not ground nutmeg- but you could definitely add in some nutmeg if you love nutmeg, in addition or instead of ground ginger. Please let me know if you make this pumpkin bread 🙂
