Description

This Pumpkin Bread with Chocolate Chips combines the warmth of fall spices with the richness of chocolate, creating a moist, flavorful loaf perfect for any occasion. It’s a cozy, indulgent treat for the fall season.


Ingredients

Scale

For the Pumpkin Bread:

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup vegetable oil (or melted butter)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Set oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
  3. Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, combine pumpkin puree, eggs, sugar, oil, and vanilla. Mix until smooth.
  4. Combine wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add dry ingredients into wet, mixing gently until just combined.
  5. Add chocolate chips: Fold in chocolate chips evenly throughout the batter.
  6. Bake: Pour batter into pan and bake for 60–65 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean with a few moist crumbs.
  7. Cool: Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Don’t overmix: Stir the ingredients until just combined to avoid a dense loaf.
  • Use fresh pumpkin puree: Ensure you use pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, for the best flavor.
  • Check for doneness: Start checking the bread at 55 minutes with a toothpick to ensure it’s not undercooked.
  • Cool before slicing: Allow the bread to cool completely to prevent it from falling apart during slicing.
  • Substitutions: You can replace vegetable oil with melted butter for a richer flavor or use gluten-free flour for a GF option.
