Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 and 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 and 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Add-ins

  • 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract


Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a 9 by 5 inch loaf pan to ensure the bread doesn’t stick.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves until well combined to evenly distribute the spices and leavening agents.
  3. Beat Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, beat the eggs along with granulated sugar and brown sugar until the mixture is smooth and creamy; this ensures good incorporation and a tender crumb.
  4. Add Pumpkin and Liquids: Add the canned pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, milk, and vanilla extract to the egg and sugar mixture. Mix until all wet ingredients are fully combined for consistent moisture and flavor.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually stir the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined to avoid overmixing, which can make the bread tough.
  6. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the semi-sweet chocolate chips into the batter for delicious bursts of chocolate in every bite.
  7. Pour Batter and Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top for even baking. Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool the Bread: Remove the pumpkin bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely, ensuring the bread sets properly and is easy to slice.
  9. Prepare Glaze: Whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth in a small bowl to create a simple, sweet glaze.
  10. Glaze the Bread: Once the bread is completely cooled, drizzle the glaze evenly over the top, allowing it to set before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the bread soft and tender.
  • You can add chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans for extra texture if desired.
  • Adjust the glaze thickness by adding more powdered sugar for a thicker glaze or more milk for a thinner drizzle.
