Ingredients
– 2 cups sugar
– 1/2 cup softened butter
– 3 large eggs
– 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
– 15 ounces pumpkin puree (canned or homemade, not pumpkin pie filling)
– 2 3/4 cups flour
– 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
– 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
– 1/4 teaspoon cloves
– 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
– 1/2 cup milk
– 12-ounce package of chocolate chips
Instructions
1-Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two bread pans with parchment paper and lightly spray with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
2-Cream the sugar and softened butter until well combined, then mix in the eggs, pumpkin puree, and vanilla extract thoroughly for a smooth base.
3-In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg to blend the dry ingredients evenly.
4-Gradually add the flour mixture to the pumpkin mixture alternately with the milk, starting and ending with the flour mixture, to create a well-incorporated batter.
5-Fold in the chocolate chips gently to distribute them without overmixing, keeping the batter light and airy.
6-Pour the batter into the prepared pans and bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. For mini loaves, reduce baking time to 25-35 minutes.
7-Allow the bread to cool in the pans briefly before inverting onto wire racks to cool completely, making it easier to slice.
