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