Homemade pumpkin bread is a staple in my kitchen come autumn. It makes for a tasty snack, dessert, or part of a delicious breakfast. Besides pumpkin, this recipe includes a touch of cinnamon and chocolate, making it just perfect. I often serve it with coffee or tea and add a touch of butter for a moist, flavorful touch. 

As soon as fall arrives, I have an urge to make this pumpkin bread and look out the window or sit on the patio and enjoy it with my husband. It’s something of a tradition. I’ve also baked it a few times for Thanksgiving, where it fits right in. I just love how easy it is to make. It takes a mere ten minutes to prepare, and then I can go take a bath or read a magazine while it bakes, enjoying the aromas of pumpkin, cinnamon, and chocolate.

I like the touch of cinnamon for this bread, but if you’re a fan of other spices (nutmeg, clove, allspice, etc.) then feel free to swap out the cinnamon and spice it up your own way. Similarly, you can substitute nuts for the chocolate, or simply skip this step and the bread will still turn out satisfying. Sometimes, I top the bread with pumpkin seeds right before placing it in the oven. If you make this recipe any differently, I would love to hear from you in the comments section below.
