[donotprint]Thanks for all of the nice comments about the Snickerdoodle Bread and the Food Bloggers Great American Bake Sale. It was fun to meet up with some of my fun food blogging friends, taste some of their yummy baked goods and raise money for Share Our Strength at the same time. Maria wrote a nice recap of the Bake Sale on Two Peas and Their Pod. Below is a picture of my bread all dressed up and ready for the party Bake Sale.
The Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread I made for the Great American Bake Sale is my family’s favorite quick bread. It’s moist and tender and sweet and delicious. It makes a great after school snack and it’s sweet enough to serve for dessert. I’ve tweaked the recipe until I think I’ve got it just right. I hope you’ll give it a try and let me know what you think.
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 cup butter, soften
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 16 oz can of pure pumpkin
- 1 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350?F and spray two medium loaf pans with nonstick cooking spray, or four/five mini loaf pans (5 3/4 x 3 1/4 x 2 1/4. Don't fill more than 2/3 full.)
- In a medium bowl, mix the flour, spices, salt, baking soda, and baking powder and set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer cream the butter and the sugar until fluffy, about two minutes. Add eggs one at a time mixing well after each addition. Add the pumpkin and combine well.
- Add the dry ingredients stirring until just combined. Coat the chocolate chips with 2 T. flour and stir into batter.
- Spoon batter into prepared pans. Bake side-by-side for about one hour or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. (Bake 35-40 minutes for the mini loaves.)
Notes
Substitute 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon plus 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg and 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves for 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice.

Wish I could have been there for your bake sale, sounds like it was a great success. Have never really eaten pumpkin – this sounds delicious.
Your breads were packaged so cute! Pumpkin choc bread makes me feel so fall-ish!
Ooo, that sounds so good. No wonder it sold out quickly! I'm sorry I wasn't there to buy some.
Sounds like Utah had a wonderful bake sale! We never got anything together in San Diego, but they did a big one up in LA. This looks like a lovely loaf
Our fave flavors!
looks delicious
but I am puzzled at my country there is no pumpkin pie spice, pumpkin pie spice like what?
I make a pumpkin date bread (from Maida Heatter's cookbook) but I have to tell you this chocolate chip version sounds like a winner! Will definitely be making it in the fall!
So glad the bake sale was such fun and such a success!
aneka resep – thanks for your question. You can substitute 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon plus 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg and 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves for 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice. I updated the recipe with a note at the end that gives the substitution.
Je n'ai jamais fait de pain au potiron.
Avec les épices en plus, il doit être délicieux.
Je note ta recette.
A bientôt.
This is my husbands favorite! I can't wait to surprise him!
Another great looking quickbread Barbara. I have all the ingredients in my pantry so I think I'll be baking this up next. I would have bought several loaves at the Bake Sale.
How funny, I have a bag of frozen pumpkin puree (from October!) defrosting in my fridge right now. This looks like a great recipe for it. Love the addition of chocolate chips.
what a great bread..what a great event-I'm glad it was a sucess

Yumm…this is a terrific bread that would be so appreciated by friends and family!
Barbara, so happy to have your recipes for all the breads you brought to the sale. I'm so glad I snagged the one I did because they were all gone when I came back two hours later! I will be baking with your recipes soon.
Pumpkin is my all time favorite and this looks nothing short of amazing. I lost my favorite pumpkin bread recipe and have been on the look out for a replacement and I think I might have just found it! Hope our having a great weekend.
I LOVE pumpkin bread! My daughter has a recipe that is fabulous, but I want to try yours now too!
I've been craving pumpkin lately but I keep avoiding it. One look at your pumpkin bread and I think I just caved.
Barbara,
I had to leave another comment telling you I made this bread and it was excellent. I actually just posted about it on my blog and linked back to your recipe. Thanks for a wonderful recipe that is now a family favorite.
Thank you so much for sharing! This sounds sooo good!
