Pumpkin Bread

 

• ▢2 cups granulated sugar
• ▢1/2 cup butter , softened
• ▢3 large eggs
• ▢2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• ▢15 ounces canned pumpkin
• ▢2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
• ▢1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• ▢1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
• ▢1 teaspoon salt
• ▢3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ▢1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
• ▢1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• ▢1/2 cup milk
• ▢12 ounce package chocolate chips

• Grease and flour two 9x5 in loaf pans. (I also like to line the bottom of the pans with wax or parchment paper.)  Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Add the sugar and butter to a mixing bowl and beat them with an electric mixer until well combined. Add eggs, pumpkin and vanilla and mix to combine. 
• In a separate bowl mix together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg.
• Alternately add flour mixture, then milk to pumpkin mixture, starting and ending with flour. Fold in chocolate chips at the end.
• Pour the batter into prepared pans. Bake at 350 degrees F for 45-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool for a few minutes in the pan before inverting onto a wire rack to cool.
• *For mini loaves, check them around 35 min of baking, then every 5 min. after that (if they need it) until they are done.
