Whether you choose to make this bread into muffins instead, or omit the chocolate chips, there are so many ways to make this recipe and all will be just as delicious as the next!

    Ingredients Needed for 3 Ingredient Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread

    For exact ingredient amounts and step by step directions, see printable recipe card below!

    • Spice Cake Mix– I use Duncan Hines personally because it creates incredibly moist, perfectly spiced results each and every time. Any brand will work though!
    • Pumpkin– a 15 ounce can of pumpkin puree is all you’ll need. I love using Libby’s brand, but store brand works too. Needs to be pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling.
    • Chocolate Chips– this is optional, but highly recommended. I use semi-sweet chocolate chips, but any type works great. Cinnamon chips are a great substitute if you can find them.

    Variations

    • Chopped Nuts- about ½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts are a great addition to the batter.
    • Raisins-  up to 1 cup raisins.
    • Mashed Banana- banana can be used in place of the canned pumpkin if allergic or desired.
    • Pumpkin Seeds- sprinkle on top of bread for an added crunch.
    • Spices- to enhance the Fall flavor, you can add 1 teaspoon Pumpkin Pie Spice, Nutmeg, Ginger, Cinnamon, and/or cloves. Adjust to taste.

    Recipe FAQ’s

    Why is my pumpkin bread not baking?

    Adding too much pumpkin can cause the middle not to cook evenly. Be sure to only add 1 can to this recipe and make sure it is a 15 ounce can.

    Absolutely! In fact, in most recipes, mashed banana is the perfect alternative to pumpkin puree.

    Depending on how you store it, this bread is fresh for 3 days at room temperature, 5 days if stored in the refrigerator, or up to 3 months in the freezer.

    Absolutely! Double the batch and make two loaves to freeze one for later. If stored in a freezer safe container or bag, the bread will be good for about 3 months. Thaw before serving.
