🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan. You don't want the bread to stick!
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves. Make sure there are no clumps of baking soda. This is vital.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. I use canned pumpkin puree. It's really up to your preference though.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, this is a common mistakes and can cause issues
Fold in the chocolate chips or nuts, if using. Make sure they are evenly distributed throughout the batter. Don't want a lump of chocolate in one area.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top starts to brown too quickly, tent it with foil.
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Trust me, it's hard not to just devour the loaf.
Slice and serve. Enjoy with a pat of butter, a dollop of whipped cream, or simply on its own. It's perfect with a cup of coffee or tea.
📝 Notes
For a richer flavor, use brown butter instead of melted butter.
Add a streusel topping for extra sweetness and texture.
Store leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
