Equipment
- 9x5 loaf pan
- electric hand or stand mixer
- whisk
Ingredients
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon ground cloves
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 cup light brown or coconut sugar packed
- ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 eggs room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups pumpkin puree or one 15 ounce can
- ½ cup chocolate chips milk, white, or semisweet chocolate
- ½ cup chopped almonds optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a loaf pan with butter and dust with a small amount of flour.
- In a small bowl, combine the all purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger. Mix until combined.
- In a large bowl, beat the olive oil, vanilla extract and brown sugar on medium speed (or with a whisk) for 1 minute. Add the eggs and beat 1 minute more. Add the pumpkin puree and beat until the mixture is smooth, about 1 minute.
- Pour the bowl of dry ingredients into the bowl of liquid ingredients. Beat until combined, about 2 minutes.
- Coat the almonds in a small amount of flour. Gently fold the almonds and chocolate chips into the batter using a spatula. *Coating the almonds in flour helps to keep the finished bread in tact where there are larger almond pieces, rather than falling apart when sliced.
- Pour the batter into the loaf pan and bake for 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let rest in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Let cool for at least 30 minutes more before slicing.
Notes
In place of the ground cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger, use 3 teaspoon of pumpkin spice seasoning.
Pumpkin bread keeps well at room temperature for 2-3 days. Wrap in plastic or store in a Ziploc baggie. It freezes well for up to 6 months stored in a freezer bag.
