Ingredients

For Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread:

  • 1 stick (113 grams) unsalted butter softened
  • 1 ½ cup (340 grams) pumpkin puree
  • 1 large (50 grams) egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups (240 grams) all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup (159 grams) light brown sugar packed
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice or cinnamon
  • ⅓ cup (75 grams) buttermilk
  • 1 tablespoon (14 grams) sour cream or greek yogurt
  • 1 cup (170 grams) chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees (F). Spray a 9x5 loaf pan with non-stick spray and set aside.
  • In a medium bowl combine the butter and pumpkin puree together.
  • Add the eggs and vanilla and beat until combined.
  • In a medium bowl whisk the flour, brown sugar, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin spice until there are no lumps.
  • Mix the dry ingredients into the wet until just combined.
  • Add the buttermilk and sour cream. Mix until just combined.
  • Fold in the chocolate chips.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and sprinkle the top with extra chocolate chips, if desired. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs. If the pumpkin bread starts to get too brown you can cover it with foil for the remainder of the baking time. Remove from oven and allow to cool before slicing.

Notes

  • Don't over-mix the batter. Only mix until the ingredients are just combined.
  • Don't over-bake the pumpkin bread. When you remove the bread from the oven it will continue to bake from the residual heat.
