Our Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Loaf Recipe Came to our Bakery via Matt’s Mother, Gail. She was neither a cook nor a baker nor a kitchen hobbyist (she preferred ordering in), but she enjoyed making this quickbread, as it is extremely easy and the results are impressive. The loaf is incomparably moist, and the pumpkin and chocolate chips pair well together for the perfect accompaniment to a hot cup of coffee or tea.
