Every year as the weather starts to get cooler and the leaves change, I start to get the pumpkin itch. I have to pumpkin allthethings that come out of my kitchen.
This year is no different. So far I have made at least 10 pumpkin treats. I promise to space them out a little bit though. Pumpkin overload isn’t always a good idea.
One thing that I make every year is this Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread. Each year I like to give it a fun little twist to it to make it different from the year before.
I realize that there are about a million pumpkin breads floating around the Internet, but trust me when I say you need this version for breakfast very soon.
I kept the pumpkin bread recipe pretty simple by not adding any extras to the batter except for some pecans and spices.
This year I can’t seem to get enough of pecan and praline desserts though. I promise that I was planning on keeping this Pumpkin Pecan Bread extra simple, but then I decided that it needed a glaze and more nuts.
Simple doesn’t happen often with me, I guess. At least I thought about it.
How to make a Pumpkin Pecan Bread:
- Mix together the sugars and oil. Add the eggs and pumpkin puree and beat again.
- Stir together all the dry ingredients.
- Alternately add the dry ingredients with the milk to the pumpkin mixture.
- Spoon the batter into a greased bread pan and bake. (see full recipe below)
As I started to think about what kind of glaze would work for this bread, I remembered this Apple Praline Cake, and I knew that I had to have that frosting again because it is so amazing.
Since a thicker frosting tends to make my family call breakfast bread a cake, I thinned the frosting down to a little bit runnier glaze.
Making an Easy Praline Glaze:
- Place the butter, sugar, and milk in a sauce pan and bring to a boil.
- Whisk in the powdered sugar and vanilla.
- Let it cool some before spooning it on top of the pumpkin bread.
- Make sure the bread is on a wire rack with a pan under it to keep the glaze from going all over your counter.
- Press on some chopped pecans and let it set, then slice yourself an extra large slice to go with your morning coffee.

I enjoyed your recipe thoroughly. I’ve never had pumpkin bread before, but this little winner will stay in rotation for sure. Thank you for sharing.
Adrienne
Can I use mini loaf pans?
Jocelyn
Yes, you can use smaller loaf pans. That will affect the baking time. My guess is that you will bake the minis for 40-45 minutes. I haven't done this particular bread in smaller pans though, so I can't say an exact time. I hope you enjoy it!
Mir
Don't hold back, Jocelyn. You make as many of those pumpkin desserts as your little heart desires. When they look as good as this, who can resist?

Of all pumpkin breads I have made, this recipe is probably the best. Glaze works great with the recipe also but I increased the ingredients by 1/3 to provide more coverage for the loaf. Excellent.
