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