Chocolate Pumpkin Bread Recipe
I love the fall season. Cooler weather, wearing scarves, beautiful color-changing leaves, and all the delicious food. Although I do not personally drink pumpkin spice lattes, I can never get enough pumpkin pie and pumpkin bread. This Chocolate Pumpkin Bread Recipe is sure to be a mouth-watering favorite! Bake a batch for upcoming fall gatherings, serve at brunch, enjoy for a light dessert, or to give as hostess gifts.
Chocolate Pumpkin Bread Recipe
You can print the full recipe below.
Gather your ingredients while your oven preheats. Then whisk your flour, cocoa powder, and baking soda. Combine your canned pumpkin, softened butter, sugar, egg, vanilla and sour cream.
The favorite part of the Chocolate Pumpkin Bread is stirring in mini chocolate chips. They will not fully bake into your bread instead, they will melt to perfection.
The extra chocolate chips sprinkled on top of the bread before baking provides an additional layer of gooey chocolate goodness.

I made this bread today, I thought I had chocolate chips but I didn’t. I had few white chocolate chips and sprinkled those on the top. This bread is moist and SO delicious! Thank you for the recipe.
Did you use mini or regular chips?
Chocolate and bread and so easy to make. Thanks for sharing!
This bread is so delicious, I have made it twice now, and my husband, who doesn’t know there is pumpkin in it, loves it too.
That is great to hear! Thanks for trying our recipe.
I just made these I didn’t have enough pumpkin so I added some applesauce to complete cup measurement. My son can’t have wheat soy nor dairy so I adjusted to him I added a bit of oat milk for the sour cream. I made a loaf and 7 cupcakes they smell amazing.
