Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour unbleached
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 3/4 tsp sea salt fine
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup light brown sugar packed
- 1 1/2 cups pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup whole milk
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips divided
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 9 x 5 loaf pan. Set aside.
- Add flour, baking soda, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice and salt to a large bowl and whisk until combined. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl whisk eggs, granulated sugar and brown sugar until well combined.
- Add pumpkin puree, oil and milk and continue whisking until well combined.
- Add dry ingredients to the pumpkin mixture and stir gently with a wooden spoon until just combined. Batter will be slightly lumpy. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold 2/3 cup of chocolate chips into the batter then pour into the prepared loaf pan. Level with a spatula and scatter remaining chocolate chips on top of the batter.
- Bake for 30 minutes then loosely cover top with aluminum foil to prevent overbrowning. Bake for an additional 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out with a few moist crumbs. For moist bread, avoid overbaking.
- Remove pan from oven and place on a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
- Cover bread with plastic wrap and store at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator up to 7 days.
