  • 1 cup pumpkin puree not pumpkin pie filling!
  • 1 cup chocolate chips semi-sweet or your favorite
  • Cooking spray or butter, for greasing

  • Measuring spoons
  • Rubber spatula

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, ginger, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Add the pumpkin puree to the wet ingredients and mix until smooth.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
  8. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Slice and enjoy!

Notes

For best results, measure flour correctly by spooning it into a measuring cup and leveling it off. Avoid overmixing the batter to prevent a tough bread. Ensure ingredients like eggs and pumpkin puree are at room temperature for better incorporation. Store the cooled bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months. For a twist, add chopped nuts or different types of chocolate chips. A streusel topping can also add a delightful crunch.
