Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 and 3/4 cups (219g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup (150g) packed light or dark brown sugar
  • 1 and 1/2 cups (340g) pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) vegetable oil, canola oil, or melted coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) orange juice
  • 2/3 cup (120g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Adjust the oven rack to the lower third position.
  2. Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C).
  3. Grease a metal 9×5-inch loaf pan with non-stick spray.
  4. Set the greased loaf pan aside.
  5. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, ginger, and salt until combined.
  6. Set the dry ingredients bowl aside.
  7. In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until combined.
  8. Whisk in the pumpkin puree, oil, and orange juice into the wet ingredients.
  9. Pour the wet ingredients mixture into the dry ingredients mixture.
  10. Gently mix the batter together using a rubber spatula or a wooden spoon until just combined.
  11. Do not over-mix, a few lumps are okay.
  12. If using, gently fold in the chocolate chips.
  13. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  14. Bake for 60–65 minutes.
  15. Loosely cover the bread with aluminum foil halfway through baking to prevent the top from browning too much.
  16. Check for doneness when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean with only a few small moist crumbs.
  17. Begin checking for doneness every 5 minutes around the 55-minute mark.
  18. Allow the bread to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before removing and slicing.

Notes

Spoon and level your flour for best results.
Do not overmix the batter; mix until just combined.
Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing to prevent crumbling.
Cover loosely with foil during baking to prevent the top from over-browning.
