Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon cloves
- 1 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
- ½ cup sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
- Whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves in a medium bowl. Set aside.
- Mix together the pumpkin puree, sugar, brown sugar, and vegetable oil in a large bowl until combined. Add the eggs, one at a time, stirring well after each addition, followed by the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until incorporated. Be careful not to overmix. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top if necessary.
- Bake for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Ensure all your spices are fresh for the best flavor. Let eggs and pumpkin puree come to room temperature for better mixing.
