Ingredients

For the Bread:

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1/2 tsp ground cloves

1/2 tsp ground nutmeg

3 oz cooking oil

2 large eggs

1 cup sugar

1 tsp vanilla

1 cup pumpkin puree

1 1/4 cups chocolate chips, divided

Oil spray (for greasing)

Optional Add-ins:

Chopped walnuts or pecans

Dried cranberries or raisins

Flax eggs (for vegan version)

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a loaf pan with oil spray or line it with parchment paper.

  • Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg. Set aside.

  • Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, beat together oil, eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Stir in pumpkin puree until fully incorporated.

  • Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

  • Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in 1 cup of chocolate chips, saving 1/4 cup to sprinkle on top.

  • Transfer to Pan and Bake: Pour batter into prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle remaining chocolate chips over the top. Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  • Cool and Serve: Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy!

Notes

Add-ins: Customize with nuts like walnuts or pecans, or dried fruits like cranberries for extra flavor.

Vegan Option: Substitute eggs with flax eggs (1 tbsp flaxseed meal + 3 tbsp water per egg) and use maple syrup instead of honey.

Gluten-Free: Replace the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.

Spices: Adjust cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg based on your taste preferences.
