Browned butter and chocolate chips give this pumpkin bread extra richness and flavor!
Oh my gosh it’s pumpkin season. Happy dance commences: now. Alright so, it might be a tad bit early to bust out the pumpkin but my mother gave me about 57 giant cans of pumpkin puree and I’ve been eying it in the pantry for months now, just begging to be turned into muffins and cupcakes and cookies and bread. It’s been feeling very Fall-ish around here lately and though I’m basically in tears just thinking about the end of summer, I can’t help but be a tad (read: over the top) excited for boots and sweaters and soup and all things Autumn. So out came the pumpkin. First up: browned butter chocolate chip pumpkin bread.
The browned butter craze is completely understandable. Browning butter brings out a whole new level of flavor you just don’t get with plain melted butter. It’s just not something you can understand until you actually taste the difference.
This bread is moist and fluffy and loaded with browned butter and chocolate chip richness. Better yet, it’s a really simple recipe that makes two nice big loaves of pumpkin bread so it’s not going to run out in one sitting. Well unless you’re me. Cause once I get started on a good loaf of pumpkin bread, there’s just no stopping me. Bring in the new season with this chocolate chip pumpkin bread, you’ll be in lovely in an instant!

Jealous of your pumpkin stash here! This bread looks incredible. I can only imagine what the browned butter does for it!
Love pumpkin bread! This one looks easy to make. Pinned.
Oh my gosh, look at the texture in that bread. And those melt-y chocolate chips. This looks like absolute heaven. I normally don’t buy pumpkin, but I think it’s time to change that. I can’t wait until Thanksgiving, I’ll be able to make insane amounts of this bread and I won’t seem crazy. Of course, before then I will be trying it. Pinning!
Great recipe Tiffany – I love the sound of brown butter!
