Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves (optional)
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil or melted butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a standard loaf pan with parchment.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and spices.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.
  4. Stir dry ingredients into wet mixture until just combined; avoid overmixing.
  5. Fold in chocolate chips.
  6. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  7. Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool in pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • Use mini chocolate chips for more even distribution.
  • Add walnuts or pecans for crunch.
  • Replace half the oil with applesauce for a lighter version.
  • Add a cream cheese swirl or streusel topping for a dessert-like loaf.
