Fall baking season is here. Are you ready? Are you excited? I am! There is something so comforting about the smell of baked goods filling up the house during the fall months. NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE is synonymous with baking any time of the year. Just like this delicious fall-inspired Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Nut Bread. It is the perfect fall recipe, but truthfully, can be enjoyed any time of the year!
Living on a large farm, I not only love and appreciate fall but also the fact that pumpkins take center stage this time of year. I love their beautiful color. I also love to highlight their delicious flavor in both baking and cooking. We all have a sweet tooth in this house so this Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Nut Bread was the perfect sweet comfort on a recent cool fall day here in New Jersey.

How Do I Make Pumpkin Bread?
I begin by mixing the chocolate chips with some flour. This will prevent all the chocolate morsels from sinking to the bottom of the bread when it is baked. You can just set this aside until you are ready to mix your batter together.
It’s obviously not pumpkin bread without any pumpkin, so I add one cup of pumpkin puree. You can use fresh or canned pumpkin. Incorporate this into the batter right before you add the flour to the mix.
Once the batter is mixed, now it is time to gently stir in the NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE Milk Chocolate Morsels and the walnuts. You only need to mix until everything is incorporated. I just love the orange color of the batter. It is so reminiscent of fall!
Spread the batter evenly in a bread pan. Sprinkle a nice handful of NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE Milk Chocolate Morsels and chopped walnuts over the top. This bread takes about an hour to bake, so you just have to be patient. Allow it to cool and then as if there were not enough NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE Milk Chocolate Morsels in the recipe, melt about 1/2 cup of morsels with some butter and drizzle over the top of the bread! Trust me, it is well worth the wait. Once you remove it from the oven, all it to cool before you slice.
This Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Nut Bread is so moist. Every bite is packed with the delicious pumpkin flavor, NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE Morsels and crunchy walnuts. I like to enjoy a slice with a nice hot cup of java. It’s the perfect fall recipe and one of my family’s favorite quick breads. Crisp days and cool nights are a perfect reason to celebrate fall with this Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Nut Bread.

Chocolate and pumpkin is a great combination! I need to make this soon because I have some Nestle chocolate chips sitting in my pantry waiting to be used for something delicious.
Living on a large farm you must know the best knife to use to cut pumpkin – other than getting a chainsaw – I’m going bonkers trying to figure out the best way to cut into one without taking my fingers off! YIKES! 🙂
BTW – this bread sounds wonderful – love the nuts and pumpkin and chocolate combo
Hi – I use a large serrated watermelon knife to cut pumpkin. It looks like a bread knife but is longer. It works perfectly.
I love this pumpkin bread Melissa!!! So decadent. Wish we were having a slice together this morning. I did not know about mixing the chocolate chips with flour so they won’t sink. Great tip! 🙂
