Paleo chocolate chip pumpkin bread is the perfect fall treat. This recipe is quick to prepare and versatile, too: make a delicious loaf or turn it into muffins.
Pumpkin, chocolate, and harvest spices make a winning combo. What could be better on a chilly fall day, or really any day of the year?
The recipe is easy to multiply, so make an extra batch and turn it into muffins! They freeze well, too. So go ahead and double, triple, or even quadruple the recipe for plenty to enjoy now plus extras to tuck away for later.

Almond flour keeps this recipe paleo and gluten-free, while maple syrup provides natural sweetening without any refined sugars. Cinnamon, clove, and nutmeg add just the right amount of harvest spice.
You could definitely make this bread without the chocolate chips but honestly, what’s the point? In my opinion, chocolate is the perfect balance to the fall flavors of spiced pumpkin in this recipe. If you really don’t want to add the chocolate, chopped nuts or raisins would work well, too.
This paleo chocolate chip pumpkin bread is equally delicious warmed up, toasted, or eaten cold straight from the fridge. I hope your family enjoys it as much as mine!

I’ve tried SO MANY paleo pumpkin recipes and this one is easily the BeST!!! The muffins are so moist and the spice level is the flavor burst I’ve always lacked in previous attempts at the fall pumpkin success! Another reason I love these….no melting butter or oil!
