Pioneer Woman Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread Recipe

Pumpkin and chocolate come together beautifully in Pioneer Woman's Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread.
The moisture from the unsweetened pumpkin puree creates a tender crumb that contrasts beautifully with semisweet chocolate chips.
One key to achieving the right texture is not to overmix the batter, as this keeps the bread soft and tender.
Baking this bread fills the kitchen with an irresistible aroma, making it a go-to recipe in my home.
