Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 (15.25 ounce) box spice cake mix (preferably Duncan Hines)
  • 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan or line it thoroughly with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the spice cake mix and pumpkin puree. Stir the mixture until the batter is smooth and all ingredients are fully incorporated. Then, gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips to distribute evenly throughout the batter.
  3. Bake Bread: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean or with only a few moist crumbs attached.
  4. Cool and Serve: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then carefully transfer the loaf to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing. This helps the bread set and improves texture.

Notes

  • Use pure pumpkin puree for best results, not pumpkin pie filling which contains added sugar and spices.
  • You can substitute chocolate chips with nuts or dried fruits for variation.
  • If you prefer a less sweet bread, use a spice cake mix with low sugar content or reduce chocolate chips.
  • Ensure the batter is mixed just until combined to avoid a dense texture.
  • Store leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
