Ingredients
Scale
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1/4 tsp ground ginger
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 cup canned pumpkin puree
1/4 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and line with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger. Set aside.
In a large bowl, mix together oil, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in pumpkin puree, milk, and vanilla extract until combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
Fold in the chocolate chips.
Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For extra texture, add 1/2 cup chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans.
Use mini chocolate chips for more even distribution.
This bread tastes even better the next day after flavors meld.
