This Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Loaf is so moist and delicious – with a spiced glaze drizzled over the top. A perfect 10!
Happy Friday! TGIF!
This week went by so fast. I love when that happens. Makes me so happy when I realize it’s the weekend again!
We are finally settling into our new house. We are loving the area we moved into, it’s pretty ritzy. Much ritzier than the last area we lived in. I’m getting used to seeing Ferraris and Porsches on the way to and from school every day.
Okay, that makes it sound like Hollywood or something, lol! It’s not! But it is a great area and we are loving it!
My boys have been struggling a bit with their homework and tests, though. The schools here are much more demanding than their last, and the impact of football plus school has been a bit tough.
In order to loosen things up a bit, I recently sent my boys to school with some of this pumpkin bread. Instant A+.
No, I’m totally kidding! I wish it was that easy!! But brownie points never hurt, right?! 😉
This pumpkin loaf is just beyond the best pumpkn bread I’ve ever had. It is SO moist, so flavorful and spiced with all those wonderful fall spices, that it deserves its own glaze.
The spiced glaze just adds a rich sweetness that makes this loaf even harder to pass up. I can guarantee you will fall in love with this chocolate chip pumpkin loaf like we have!

Thank you for the recipe! Must try it this weekend. The pumpkin roll bars I made this week were an abysmal failure — the kids have barely touched them. I have a good feeling I’ll have better luck with your loaf.

I hope you give them a try, Julie!! Thanks for stopping by!
