Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger (optional)
  • 1 cup (240ml) pumpkin puree
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup packed (50g) brown sugar
  • ⅓ cup (80ml) vegetable oil or melted butter
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (170g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ground ginger (if using).
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil or melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and fold gently with a spatula until just combined; a few streaks of flour are okay.
  5. Fold in the chocolate chips gently to keep them evenly distributed.
  6. Scrape the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly. Tap the pan lightly to release air bubbles.
  7. Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs and the top is golden brown and slightly cracked.
  8. Cool the bread in the pan on a wire rack for about 15 minutes, then remove from the pan and cool completely on the rack.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs for better rise. Do not overmix the batter to keep the bread tender. Toss chocolate chips in flour before folding to prevent sinking. Tent with foil if browning too fast. Use 100% pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling. For gluten-free, substitute flour with a 1:1 gluten-free blend.
