- Add nuts: Chopped walnuts or pecans would work beautifully in this recipe. Just add your choice of nuts when you fold in the chocolate chips.
- Add coconut flakes: If you love coconut, don’t be scared to add some shaved coconut to the batter.
- Make it a banana-pumpkin bread: You can’t go wrong adding bananas to this decadent bread. Mash two ripe bananas, and fold them into the wet ingredient mixture.
- Frost it: To add more sweetness to the bread, frost it with your favorite store-bought frosting after it cools (or do a homemade frosting if you’re feeling really inspired). Cream cheese frosting would taste amazing with all of the fall flavors in this bread.
