Cinnamon Chip Pumpkin Bread Recipe – this quick bread is moist, tender, and packed with cinnamon flavor. A definite must make for fall baking!
Since we are halfway through September, I feel totally justified in starting to post pumpkin recipes. I waited long enough didn’t I? I love baking with pumpkin, and truth be told, I actually bake with it all year long.
This pumpkin bread recipe is a family favorite. It is loaded with cinnamon chips, and has a sprinkling of cinnamon sugar on top for an extra boost of cinnamon flavor. It is divine!
I handed several loaves out to neighbors last year and got a few recipe requests shortly after. It makes great Christmas neighbor gifts. Everyone loves it!
The crackly sugary top looks so yummy, doesn’t it?
Guys, this bread is so good! If you’ve never tried cinnamon chips before, you really need to! They used to be hard to find, but thankfully my local stores now carry them all year long.
You can find them in the baking aisle with the chocolate chips. My family prefers them to chocolate chips in all of my pumpkin recipes.

I’m new to baking! Anything! I bought a pan that has 4 mini loafs in it. 5.75×3×2.12
I have 2 9×5 big pans.
When you say 2 regular size loafs? What size do you mean? Can I bake 4 instead of 5 mini

A regular loaf pan is sometimes called a 1 pound loaf pan, and it usually measures about 9×5″. (Mine is 8.5 x 4.5) So this recipe would be fine in one of your big pans. If you try to fit all the batter in four mini pans, it may overflow. I would recommend using most of the batter in the mini loaves, but baking the rest in muffin pans, or even an oven safe glass bowl. That’s better than risking a big mess in your oven. 🙂

This bread is delicious! My daughter is on gluten free, dairy free diet and I want to make one for her when she comes to visit. Can I use almond flour instead of all purpose flour?

I have never used almond flour, but it’s definitely worth a try. Let me know how it turns out!
