Whole Wheat Pumpkin Bread with chocolate chips is a delicious lighter version of my favorite fall treat! Perfect for Thanksgiving or Halloween parties.
Did I ever tell you about the time I realized I had been using my oven wrong for over a year?
After many raw loaves of bread and burnt cookies, I had come to the conclusion that baking just isn’t for me. I’m much more of a cooking girl.
It wasn’t until my roommate watched me turn on the oven with fingers crossed one day, that she pointed out I was turning the convection oven setting on instead of the regular oven. And I had been doing so since we moved into our apartment in May of 2017.
That’s what my mom would call a “blonde moment”.
So I’m happy to report that I am now capable of using my oven correctly. And I’m even happier because it means I can make this Whole Wheat Pumpkin Bread with Chocolate Chips on repeat.
Growing up, the only way my mom could get me to eat breakfast was if she made muffins or bread. I’ve always LOVED homemade bread more than any other dessert.
From my Paleo Chocolate Chip Banana Bread, to zucchini bread, to pumpkin bread – give. Me. All of it.
This Whole Wheat Pumpkin Bread with Chocolate Chips is a healthier version of your typical bread because it uses whole wheat flour in place of white flour.
You seriously don’t miss the white flour in this because the pumpkin still makes it super moist and delicious.
Of course, the addition of chocolate chips just takes this pumpkin bread to the next level. I use Enjoy Life chocolate chips. YUM!
If you need a recipe for holiday parties, Thanksgiving, or just a fall flavored snack, give this Whole Wheat Pumpkin Bread a try. I hope you love it!
