Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread is moist, flavorful, and offers the flavor of fall in each bite. This is my go-to chocolate chip pumpkin bread recipe I make every year when I get the yearning for pumpkin recipes.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line two 9x5 loaf pans with foil or parchment paper. Spray the foil/parchment paper and pan with nonstick baking spray.
In a large bowl, add the 1/2 cup butter and 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar. Beat with a hand mixer until well combined.
Add in the 3 large eggs, 2 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 15 ounces pumpkin puree. Beat until the eggs are pumpkin are incorporated.
In a separate bowl, add the 2 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice. Whisk until combined.
Alternate adding the flour and 1/2 cup buttermilk to the wet ingredients starting and finishing with the flour. Beat until each addition is incorporated.
Fold in the 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips.
Split the batter between two 9x5 loaf pans, top with a few extra chocolate chips for presentation, and bake for 45-50 minutes. Allow the loaves to cool for 10 minutes and then transfer to a cooling rack.
Store covered at room temperature for several days.
