Ingredients
1 3/4 cups (220 g) all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1/4 tsp ground ginger (optional)
1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
1/2 cup (100 g) brown sugar
1/2 cup (120 ml) vegetable oil
2 large eggs
1 1/2 cups (340 g) canned pumpkin puree
1/4 cup (60 ml) milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
3/4 cup (130 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips (plus extra for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger.
- In a large bowl, whisk together granulated sugar, brown sugar, and oil until smooth.
- Add eggs, pumpkin puree, milk, and vanilla extract to the wet mixture and mix until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips evenly throughout the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top.
- Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
Do not overmix the batter to keep the bread tender.
Homemade pumpkin puree can be used if well-drained and thick.
Add 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts for extra texture.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to 1 week.
Freeze tightly wrapped for up to 3 months and thaw overnight before serving.
