    Get ready to treat yourself with Kneader's deliciously sweet and savory Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread! Follow this recipe for easy steps and find out how quick and delicious homemade bread can be.

    Making Kneaders Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread

    Deliciously sweet and savory, Kneader's Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread is the perfect treat for any occasion. Using easy-to-find ingredients, this simple recipe allows you to make homemade bread in no time. So grab your mixing bowl and find out how quick and delicious homemade bread can be!

    Update: Kneaders no longer adds chocolate chips to their bread like they did years ago--but I still do. To keep it close to the original recipe, just omit the chocolate. Or make one loaf with chocolate and one without. Just to see which one you like the most.

    Gather Ingredients: Flour, Baking Powder, Salt, Pumpkin Spice, Butter, Milk and Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread Mix

    Before you start, make sure to gather all the necessary ingredients. You will need all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon,  softened butter, baking soda, eggs, mashed pumpkin, water and semi sweet chocolate chips. When you're done grabbing your ingredients it's time to start baking!

    Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease an 8x4 inch baking pan

    Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F (190 degrees C) and prepare an 8x4 inch baking pan with cooking spray or butter. In a large bowl, mix together the dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, mix together the wet ingredients. Then add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and blend until everything is evenly combined. Pour the mixture into your prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly using a spatula or spoon. Bake for 55-60 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the loaf comes out clean. Enjoy!

    Equipment

    • bread pan

    Ingredients
      

    • 3-⅓ cups unbleached all purpose Flour
    • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
    • 1 tablespoon Cinnamon
    • 2 teaspoons Baking Soda
    • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
    • 1-½ teaspoon Salt
    • 2-⅔ cups Sugar
    • ⅔ cups Softened Butter
    • 4 whole Eggs
    • 1 pound or 1 30oz can or 2 15oz cans Mashed Pumpkin
    • ⅔ cups Water
    • 1 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips I highly recommend Ghiradelli

    Instructions
     

    • Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
    • Sift together dry ingredients and set aside. Cream sugar and butter until well incorporated. Add eggs one at a time and then add the mashed pumpkin. Alternate adding dry ingredients with water. Fold in chocolate chips.
    • Pour into three large greased bread pans and bake at 325 degrees for 55 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the loaf comes out clean.
    • Makes 3 loaves. That won't make it very long at your house before being devoured.

    Notes

    Store in an airtight container for several days. Bread can be frozen in an airtight container for several weeks.

      Does this recipe make two or three loaves? You state to pour it into two large bread pans, but at the bottom it says "makes three loaves". Could you clarify

      Kind of confused on the amount of pumpkin. It says 1lb, which would be 16 oz, but then says 30 oz in parentheses. Is it 1lb or 30 oz?

        my can of pumpkin says it's 1 lb and 30 oz. At the store they sell a large and small can of pumpkin. It's the large can that you want to use, or two of the small cans. Hope that helps!

        Which pumpkin do you use the raw pie kind or the other one?

          I use canned pumpkin puree or fresh pumpkin puree. Just make sure that you DO NOT use the pumpkin pie puree. It contains cinnamon and other spices and since they are already accounted for in the recipe, you don't need to use it. It will change the taste of the recipe. And don't use it and then omit the spices. It doesn't taste the same either. Hope this helps!

      Kneaders does not put chocolate chips in their pumpkin bread (I wish!!). I used to work there and made the pumpkin bread all the time. While this looks like it would be yummy, this is NOT the Kneaders recipe that they use.

        Ha! Ha! You caught my mistake. Back years ago, (like 10) they did. I worked right across the street from a Kneaders and they made both pumpkin chocolate chip and pumpkin bread. Now they only make the pumpkin bread but still make pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. It could've just been my Kneaders but they DID make it! 🙂 This recipe is the Kneaders pumpkin bread recipe but I chose to add a little chocolate. (Chocolate in my opinion is great with anything). If you want the "true" Kneaders bread, just omit the chocolate chips. But I highly recommend them. Hope this helps!

      Love this! Mine is baking in the oven right now. I forgot the water... don't know how that happened but I hope it doesn't change it to much. My batter was pretty runny so it should be ok. MY Kneaders does make pumpkin chocolate chip bread... maybe they are still behind the times? Or they just throw some chocolate in for those of us who love it? Thanks for this recipe!
