- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 3/4 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional: 1 cup chocolate chips
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
- If using, gently fold in the chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
- Bake for 55 to 65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For an extra moist loaf, you can substitute the vegetable oil with melted butter.
- If you prefer a glaze, mix 1 cup powdered sugar with 2 tablespoons of milk and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. Drizzle over the cooled bread.
- This bread freezes well. Wrap the cooled loaf tightly in plastic wrap and then foil for up to 3 months.
