Ingredients 🧾
- 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions 👩🍳
1. Preheat the oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with oil or butter to ensure easy removal after baking.
2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1 3/4 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon of ground nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon of ground cloves. This will incorporate the leavening agents and spices evenly into the dry mixture.
3. Combine wet ingredients: In another bowl, mix 1 cup of pumpkin puree, 1/2 cup of vegetable oil, 2 large eggs, 1 cup of granulated sugar, 1/2 cup of brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Use a whisk or mixer until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
4. Blend wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the liquids until just combined; be careful not to overmix, as this could result in a dense texture.
5. Add chocolate chips: Fold in 1 cup of chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter. This will give bursts of chocolatey goodness in each slice of the bread.
6. Pour into the pan: Scrap the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly. It should settle smoothly into the pan.
7. Bake: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 55-65 minutes. The bread is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, with no batter sticking to it.
8. Cool and serve: Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing. Enjoy your warm pumpkin chocolate chip bread!
