Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread

This pumpkin chocolate chip bread is perfect for anytime of the year although it’s especially nostalgic in the fall. Obviously, I am posting about this in February, which means I really do love it any time of the year.

This recipe is full of spices, chocolate chips and of course pumpkin. I also have added an optional crumble topping if you like a crumble topping.

This recipe will make 2 medium loaves or 1 large loaf of bread. if using the crumble topping and making 1 large loaf, you can cut the crumble topping in half or it will be too much for the one loaf.
