Black and White Pumpkin Bread Recipe

This pumpkin bread recipe couldn’t be easier – one bowl and you’ll have the whole thing in the oven in less than 10 minutes. It’s flavored with cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves, plus studded with semi-sweet and white chocolate chips! And, of course, it’ll make your whole house smell like fall!

The first time I bought the pumpkin to make those pumpkin cookies, obviously, I had some leftover pumpkin (especially since I’d bought the bigger-sized can, what with it being less per ounce).

So I made these three mini loaves of this black and white chocolate chip pumpkin bread.

Still more pumpkin? Yes. Obviously.

I made another batch of pumpkin bread, this time in a standard size loaf. We ate that one too.

I like pumpkin bread, actually, since pumpkin gives baked goods the texture I want from bread.

But my favorite part of any quick bread is a nice crisp top to go with the soft interior. And that can be hard to achieve with pumpkin which, as I’ve discussed at way too much length before, wants to make all baked goods soft.

In my mind, this black and white pumpkin bread recipe is ideal.

One bowl, crunchy top with a very soft but not gooey middle, and plenty of chocolate chips.

And white chocolate chips, which I don’t even usually like, but. . . stick them with pumpkin? Two wrongs make a right.
