Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients:
- 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients:
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Spices and Mix-ins:
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare the baking environment by heating the oven to 350F (175C) and thoroughly coating a 9×5 inch loaf pan with grease to prevent sticking.
- Create a dry ingredient blend by whisking flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and warming spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves) in a medium mixing bowl until evenly distributed.
- In a separate large bowl, blend pumpkin puree with granulated and brown sugars, then incorporate vegetable oil, mixing until the texture becomes smooth and uniform.
- Enhance the wet mixture by thoroughly integrating eggs, milk, and vanilla extract, ensuring complete incorporation with a steady whisking motion.
- Carefully fold the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined to maintain a light, tender texture.
- Gently introduce chocolate chips throughout the batter, distributing them evenly to ensure consistent chocolate flavor in every slice.
- Transfer the prepared batter into the greased loaf pan, using a spatula to create an even surface and smooth out any potential air pockets.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 60-70 minutes, monitoring until a toothpick inserted into the center emerges completely clean.
- Allow the bread to rest in the pan for 10 minutes, then carefully transfer to a wire cooling rack to prevent continued cooking and achieve the perfect texture.
Notes
- Ensure ingredients are at room temperature for better mixing and smoother batter consistency.
- Use pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, to control sweetness and maintain authentic flavor.
- Try different chocolate chip varieties like dark, milk, or white chocolate for unique taste profiles.
- For gluten-free option, substitute all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend to maintain bread’s texture.
