Ingredients
Scale
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil or melted butter
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Whisk these dry ingredients together.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, pumpkin puree, vegetable oil (or melted butter), milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix the batter, as this can result in a tough bread.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
- Allow the chocolate chip pumpkin bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
- Carefully transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
Notes
- For a different flavor profile, you can substitute the chocolate chips with chopped nuts or dried fruits.
- Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain its moisture. It will stay fresh for about 4-5 days.
- This pumpkin bread freezes well. Wrap it tightly and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature before enjoying.
- Consider adding a cream cheese swirl or a sprinkle of brown sugar on top for extra flavor and texture.
