Pumpkin Chocolate Nut Bread

I absolutely love sweet breads. They make me want to make a frothy cappuccino and relax with a warm slice. I recently made several banana bread loaves for co-workers and having seen pumpkin puree in my pantry, I wanted to give this combo a try. It came out better than I thought! As much as I love pumpkin everything, I was rather pleased that this bread didn't have a strong pumpkin flavor. Sometimes pumpkin can overpower other ingredients... but this bread was wonderfully balanced. I had to throw some walnuts in for crunch and of course my favorite ghirardelli chocolate chips! 

Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 1 hour
Servings: 2 loaves (about 12 slices each loaf) 

Ingredients:

  • 2- large bread loaf pans
  • 1- 15oz can unsweetened pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup softened butter (2 sticks)
  • 2 cups Florida Crystals sugar
  • 3.5 cups flour
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract 
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp pumpkin spice
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1.5 cups semi-sweet ghirardelli chocolate chips
  • 1 cup walnuts 

Directions:

  • Grease your pans with butter. Set oven to 350 degrees. 
  • You will need to mix your dry ingredients separately from your wet ingredients as usual, so grab two bowls! 
  • In the wet bowl add softened butter, sugar, vanilla, eggs, and pumpkin. 
  • In the dry bowl, mix the flour, salt, baking soda, pumpkin spice and cinnamon. Add to wet ingredients. 
  • Fold in chocolate chips and walnuts. 
  • Sprinkle some chips and nuts on top of the bread. 
  • Sprinkle a little bit of extra sugar on top as well!
  • Bake in 2 loaf pans for about 65-70 minutes. You can tell that the bread is done if you stick a wooden toothpick in the middle and it comes out clean! 


Enjoy this bread with a coffee or a cold glass of milk, but most definitely warm it up a bit before digging in... it is so perfect when the chocolate gets gooey. This is a strong competition to my banana bread!

Nowadays, we shouldn't be after in delicious foods only, we should also take into consideration how nutritious they can be. Nowadays, there are breads that are way healthier than the traditional breads, and I believe that we should just instead focus on that! For example, this Pumpkin Chocolate Nut Bread low calorie count, but it's rich in protein which is important! Small details like that are something that we should take into consideration to sometimes! By the way, huge thanks for sharing the recipe.
