Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour: This serves as the foundation of the bread providing structure and texture.
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda: This leavening agent helps the bread rise giving it that fluffy texture.
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt: A crucial ingredient that enhances the flavors and balances the sweetness.
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon: This warm spice adds depth and an inviting aroma to the bread.
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg: Nutmeg contributes a subtle sweet and slightly spicy flavor that complements the pumpkin.
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves: These add a rich warm flavor profile, enhancing the overall taste of the bread.
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree: Using canned or fresh pumpkin puree adds moisture and a natural sweetness to the bread.
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil: This keeps the bread moist and tender contributing to its delicious texture.
  • 2 large eggs: Eggs act as a binding agent helping to hold the ingredients together for a cohesive batter.
  • 1 cup granulated sugar: This sweetens the bread and adds to its lovely crust.
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar: Brown sugar adds a bit of moisture and a hint of caramel flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract: This enhances the overall flavor profile bringing all the ingredients together harmoniously.
  • 1 cup chocolate chips: For a delightful burst of sweetness and richness in every bite.

Method
 

  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!
