Chocolate chip pumpkin quick bread

This easy, super moist chocolate chip pumpkin quick bread is packed with all the amazing fall flavors. The bread gets better as it ages so plan to bake it a day or two ahead.

I have a love relationship with the winter squash January through December but my heart starts to beat faster middle of September when the sugar pumpkin pies are piling at the grocery stores and the baking isles are packed with hundreds of pumpkin puree cans. With my trip to Romania at the end of summer I’m running a little late making all my fall favorite desserts.

I have already shared with you the recipes for pumpkin roll cake and individual apple pies and today we’re all going to enjoy a slice of this flavorful pumpkin quick bread packed with chocolate chips and a pumpkin spiced chocolate icing

A slice of quick bread, a muffin or an oatmeal cookie has been my go-to treat with my morning cup of coffee. For this pumpkin bread I wanted to add as much pumpkin flavor in one loaf as possible.

In addition to the can of pumpkin puree and the pumpkin spices I added some pumpkin spice coffee creamer, which gave this pumpkin quick bread a subtle flavor, enhancing the pumpkin pie spices I added with the flour.

To make this bread hearty, just perfect for a chilly morning I used whole wheat pastry flour which gave the bread a nutty flavor.

And to make this pumpkin bread even better, I added a handful of chocolate chips.

Since this pumpkin quick bread is made entirely using whole wheat flour the nutty flavor is too strong the day the bread is baked. The second and the third day the bread is perfect! After that I can’t say much since it doesn’t last that long!

The recipe yields two loaves. One of the loaves, once cooled, I slice it entirely and place it in the freezer. This way, next time I crave pumpkin bread I just take 1-2 slice out of the freezer and enjoy it without the need of turning on the oven and waiting for few hours until ready to be sliced.
