Step-by-Step Instructions for Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two 9x5-inch loaf pans with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup of granulated sugar and 1/2 cup of softened butter with a hand mixer until fluffy.
- Add 2 eggs, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1 cup of canned pumpkin, blending until smooth.
- In another bowl, whisk together 2 cups of flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg, and a pinch of cloves.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with 1/2 cup of milk, mixing just until combined.
- Fold in 1 cup of chocolate chips gently using a spatula.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pans and smooth the tops. Bake for 45-55 minutes.
- Let the loaves cool in their pans for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes
Mix wet and dry ingredients until just combined to keep the bread light. Use fresh leaveners for the best rise and let the bread cool properly to enhance the flavor.
