Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Add the pumpkin puree and mix until well combined.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
  9. Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For an extra moist bread, you can use pumpkin pie filling instead of pumpkin puree, but reduce the sugar by 1/4 cup.
  • Ensure your butter is truly softened, not melted, for the best texture.
  • You can add chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans along with the chocolate chips for added crunch.
