October is for showering love on pumpkins. I’m doing my share.
There’s been pumpkin doughnut muffins, pumpkin cheesecake truffles, chocolate pumpkin cupcakes, pumpkin rice pudding and now pumpkin peanut butter chocolate chip bread.
I don’t know why pumpkin and peanut butter are such a rare pair. While they seem odd together the truth is they make a delicious match. So downright dreamy I swear they were meant for each other.
Every bite of this delectable bread comes packed with sweetened pumpkin and peanut butter punctuated by subtle hits of chocolate. Perfectly moist, dense and terribly addicting.
Once the news get out we’ll be seeing pumpkin and peanut butter creations everywhere. A win-win for pumpkin lovers everywhere.
You’re very welcome.
A perfectly moist and delicious bread with pumpkin, peanut butter and chocolate in every bite!
INGREDIENTS:
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease 2 standard sized loaf pans.
- In a large mixing bowl whisk the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg together. Add the chocolate chips and toss to coat them with the flour.
- In a separate bowl whisk the pumpkin, eggs, oil, water, peanut butter and applesauce together. Stir into the dry ingredients just until moistened.
- Divide the batter evenly among the two pans. Bake 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
- Cool on wire racks 10-15 minutes then turn out from pans and cool completely on the wire racks. Store tightly wrapped in a cool, dry place up to 5 days.

I have this baking in the oven as I type this. The house smells wonderful! My Husband, Paul thought this recipe sounded interesting, so I’m surprising him with it tonight!
Thanks Clare! I hope you both loved it! 🙂
what is “solid pack pumpkin”? I want to make this with what I already have and that is “Libby’s 100% pumpkin puree” it’s what I use for pumpkin chocolate chip muffins. I really want to make this!!!!
That’s the right kind of pumpkin Jennifer! I’ll change the wording so it’s not confusing! I’d love to hear how it turns out!
It came out SOOOOOO good!! I will definitely be making this again and passing on the recipe. And I love that it makes 2! Thank you!
Thank-you Jennifer! I’m so happy that you like it! Pumpkin and peanut butter is so yummy together! Have a good weekend!
Wow, everything about this sounds delicious! This may not be a likely combo, but it certainly is full of my favorite flavors… I’m sure it’s delicious!
From the name and only from it I can understand how totally decadent this cake is!
The pumpkin bread sounds delicious. We don’t find pumpkin often in Greece but have also been making lots of sweet and savoury concoctions with butternut squash.
i would never think to combine pumpkin and pb, but it makes so much sense! this looks so wonderful!
Never had pumpkin and pb but now I wonder why! This looks delish!!
My husband will love this bread as it has peanut butter!
You’re always so inventive my dear 🙂 This cake looks amazing. I love all ingredients you used but I never heard before the combination of pumpkin and peanut butter. I’m very curious to try. Thanks for the suggestion. Hope your week is good. Bye <3
Peanut butter and pumpkin with chocolate chips sound like an awesome combination! I’ll have to give it a try, I still have leftover pumpkin for more baking…mmm..I hope you’ll have no problems from Sandy’s passage..Stay safe, XO
What a moist delicious dish my friend 🙂
Cheers

I would have never thought of putting peanut butter and pumpkin together. Sounds interesting. Your bread does look amazing!
one slice to go please!! 😉
I never would have thought to pair peanut butter with pumpkin but it does look good
PB and pumpkin – you are right, it’s definitely an odd pair but one that just seems to work! Too of my favorite flavors. I haven’t made pumpkin bread since last year, but I need to get on it soon! I could go for a war slice of this right now as we battle horrible weather conditions outside!
Be safe Sally! It’s headed my way later tonight. I’m not looking forward to it. I’m a scaredy cat.
I wouldn’t think to put the two together, but I can definitely see how this would work. Looks delicious!
I’ve been toying with the idea of making a pumpkin-infused peanut butter but haven’t been SURE that the flavors would work. Consider me officially convinced! Love the sound of this bread!
You are great my dear 🙂 Your suggestions are always surprising, I never heard before of pumpkin and peanut butter combined together and I like the idea very much. Your cake is absolutely amazing, a mix of ingredients I love. Sorry, the pumpkin you used is already cooked, it’s right? Thanks 🙂
Have a great Sunday
Yes it should be already cooked! You have a good day too!
That looks yummy! I love these kind of bread with pumpkin or fruits in it! So much more moist!
Very perfect looking bread Reeni. You are really a baking master.

Leave it to you to combine such yummy-ness as peanut butter, chocolate and pumpkin! Breads are my weakness too so I’m sure this is delicious!
Moon, hope you are having a good weekend. It’s chilly here so we wish we were snuggling with you! Purrs, Angel & Isabella
Delicious, peanut butter and pumpkin chocolate chips bread. Love it.
Dear Reeni, I love peanut butter so much! I could eat a jar as a snack!
The pumpkin and peanut butter with the chocolate chips is wonderful. This would be so good toasted with butter in the morning. Blessings dear. Catherine xoxo
