Ingredients Needed for 3-Ingredient Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread
Ingredient quantities for this easy pumpkin bread recipe are located in the recipe card at the end of the post.
- Spice cake mix – I highly recommend the Duncan Hines mix for superior flavor! (I buy it on Amazon because I find it’s typically cheaper than my local grocery stores)
- Pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie mix)
- Chocolate chips
How To Make Pumpkin Bread Chocolate Chips With 3-Ingredients (Quick Overview)
The steps below are just a quick overview of how to make the bread. The full process in detail is located in the recipe card at the end of the post.
Photo 1: Gather your ingredients and prep your loaf pan.
You can use the chocolate chips of your choosing in this recipe. Semi-sweet, milk, dark, and white will all work! Although I used semi-sweet for this batch, my personal favorite is milk chocolate.
For easy clean-up, I recommend lining your loaf pan with parchment paper. Make sure to leave enough overhang so you can easily pull the weight of the loaf out when it’s done baking.
Photo 2: Add the pumpkin puree and dry cake mix to a bowl and mix on low until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. Make sure not to overmix. Then add 1 cup of chocolate chips.
Trust the process – you don’t need to add anything else to the batter other than pumpkin puree and the dry mix. The batter will be sticky, but workable.
Photo 3: Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
Photo 4: Add the batter to the prepared loaf pan, then sprinkle on the remaining 1/4 cup chocolate chips. You can leave them as is (that’s what I do – they adhere to the top well even though they don’t sink in much) or press them into the top slightly.
If you struggle with smoothing out the top of your loaf, use a spatula sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.
Place in the oven and bake. Cool on a wire rack per the recipe instructions, then dig into your amazing bread!

3-Ingredient Pumpkin Bread with Chocolate Chips
Ingredients
- 1 box 15.25 oz spice cake mix (dry mix; not prepared)
- 15 oz pumpkin puree
- 1 1/4 cups chocolate chips (divided; you can use milk, semi-sweet, darl, or white)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F.
- Prepare a loaf pan (I use 9" x 5") by lining it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang so you can easily lift the bread out of the pan when it’s done cooking.
- Gently mix cake mix and pumpkin until the batter is smooth, being careful not to overmix, then fold in 1 cup of chocolate chips.
- Add batter to the prepared loaf pan, then sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips on top. You can press them into the batter slightly or leave them as-is.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the loaf comes out clean.
- Cool pan for five minutes on a rack, then remove the bread from the pan and transfer it to the rack to cool completely.
