Ingredients

1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour

1 tsp baking soda

½ tsp baking powder

½ tsp salt

1 ½ tsp ground cinnamon

½ tsp ground nutmeg

¼ tsp ground cloves (optional)

1 cup canned pumpkin purée (not pie filling)

½ cup vegetable oil or melted butter

1 cup granulated sugar

½ cup brown sugar, packed

2 large eggs

1 tsp vanilla extract

¾ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (plus extra for topping)

Instructions

Preheat Oven:
Heat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.

Combine Wet Ingredients:
In a large bowl, whisk pumpkin purée, oil, both sugars, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.

Bring It Together:
Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and stir gently until combined. Fold in chocolate chips.

Bake:
Pour batter into prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle a few extra chocolate chips on top.
Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean (a few crumbs are okay).

Cool & Slice:
Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Slice once cooled — the chocolatey aroma is irresistible!
