Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (100g) brown sugar
  • ½ cup (120ml) vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup (245g) pure pumpkin puree
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (175g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray, and optionally line with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger until evenly combined.
  3. In another bowl, whisk the granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, pumpkin puree, and vanilla extract until smooth and glossy.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold with a spatula until just combined; do not overmix.
  5. Toss the chocolate chips with a little flour, then fold them gently into the batter to prevent sinking.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  7. Bake for 60 to 70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Start checking at 60 minutes.
  8. Cool the bread in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Toss chocolate chips with a little flour before folding into batter to prevent sinking. Do not overmix the batter to keep bread tender. Tent with foil if edges brown too quickly. Use room temperature eggs for better mixing. For gluten-free, substitute flour with 1:1 gluten-free baking blend. For vegan, use flax eggs and dairy-free chocolate chips.
