Method
- Adjust oven rack to lower third position and preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with non-stick spray.
- In a large bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, ginger, and salt until combined.
- In another bowl, whisk eggs, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until combined. Add pumpkin puree, oil, and orange juice.
- Pour wet mixture into dry ingredients. Gently fold with a spatula until just combined; do not overmix. Fold in chocolate chips if using.
- Pour batter into prepared loaf pan. Bake 60–65 minutes, loosely covering with foil halfway through to prevent over-browning. Bread is done when a toothpick comes out mostly clean.
- Cool bread completely in the pan on a wire rack before removing and slicing. Store covered at room temperature for 3–4 days or in the fridge for up to a week.
Notes
Baked pumpkin bread freezes well for up to 3 months. Swap nutmeg, cloves, and ginger for pumpkin pie spice if preferred. Substitute milk for orange juice if desired. Optional mix-ins include chocolate chips, pecans, or walnuts.
