This is an easy pumpkin bread with chocolate chips that requires no mixer and goes from bowl to oven in minutes. Between the molasses, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and McCormick’s Pumpkin Pie Spice Extract, the bread is true comfort food and beautifully showcase the flavors of fall. To create this chocolate chip pumpkin loaf recipe, I adapted my beloved Cream Cheese-Filled Pumpkin Bread for a loaf that’s soft, moist, springy, dense yet still fluffy, and nicely spiced. Like all my pumpkin, carrot, and sweet potato desserts, using enough spices to ensure the final result is full-flavored is imperative. It’s perfect for snacking on any time of the day!
