Ingredients
Scale
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
¼ teaspoon ground ginger
1 ½ cups granulated sugar
½ cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup pumpkin puree (not pie filling)
½ cup buttermilk
1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
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, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger.
Add the granulated sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
Stir in the pumpkin puree and buttermilk until the batter is smooth.
Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top begins to brown too quickly, loosely tent it with aluminum foil.
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For mini loaves or muffins, bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25-35 minutes for mini loaves and 18-22 minutes for muffins, or until a skewer comes out clean.
To prevent chocolate chips from sinking, toss them with a tablespoon of the flour mixture before adding them to the batter.
For a streusel topping, combine ¼ cup flour, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons melted butter. Sprinkle over the batter before baking.
Store cooled bread tightly wrapped at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
