After trying too many pumpkin bread recipes, we determined that everyone likes their pumpkin bread a little different. Some like it more dense, more (cringe) moist, more pumpkiny, with banana or super light and fluffy. So many variations on such a great recipe. However, we think we have the goldilocks of all chocolate chip pumpkin bread recipes right here.
