Baking Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×4 inch loaf pan with oil spray.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg. Set the dry ingredients aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the oil, eggs, sugar, vanilla, and pumpkin puree until fully combined.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  • Fold in 1 cup of chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly. Top with the remaining ¼ cup of chocolate chips.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If it’s still wet, bake for an additional 5-10 minutes.
  • Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Don’t overmix the batter to avoid a dense loaf. Check the bread for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, it’s done. If using fresh pumpkin puree, ensure it’s not too watery. You may need to add a little more flour if the batter seems too thin. For a twist, try adding chopped pecans or walnuts for extra crunch.
