Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (245g) canned pumpkin puree
- ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
- ⅓ cup (80ml) vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup (175g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease your 9×5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until evenly combined.
- Add the pumpkin puree, sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined; a few lumps are okay.
- Fold in the chocolate chips, reserving a few to sprinkle on top if desired.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle reserved chocolate chips over the surface.
- Bake for 55-65 minutes, checking at 55 minutes by inserting a toothpick into the center. It should come out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter. If needed, bake in 5-minute increments until done.
- Cool the bread in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Use room temperature eggs for better batter consistency. Do not overmix to keep the bread tender. If the top browns too fast, tent with foil halfway through baking. Let the bread cool completely before slicing for best texture. Substitute gluten-free flour for a gluten-free version and use dairy-free chocolate chips for a dairy-free option.
