Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Add-ins

  • 3/4 cup chocolate chips (semisweet or milk)
  • 1/4 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Streusel Topping

  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 3 tablespoons cold butter, cubed

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside for later use.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, blend the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vegetable oil until smooth and well combined.
  4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Whisk the eggs and vanilla extract into the pumpkin mixture until fully incorporated, creating a smooth batter base.
  5. Combine Dry and Wet Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined to avoid overmixing and tough bread.
  6. Fold in Chocolate and Nuts: Carefully fold in the chocolate chips and chopped nuts if using, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
  7. Transfer Batter to Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly to ensure consistent baking.
  8. Prepare Streusel Topping: In a small bowl, mix the flour, sugar, and cinnamon. Add cold butter cubes and rub them with your fingers until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs.
  9. Add Streusel to Batter: Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the batter in the loaf pan to add a crunchy, flavorful crust.
  10. Bake the Bread: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating doneness.
  11. Cool Before Serving: Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • For a nut-free version, omit the chopped nuts.
  • Use either semisweet or milk chocolate chips based on your preference.
  • Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for longer freshness.
  • This bread freezes well; wrap tightly and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw before serving.
  • Make sure not to overmix the batter to keep the bread tender.
