Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 ½ tsp cinnamon
  • ½ tsp nutmeg
  • ¼ tsp ginger (optional)
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour (for streusel)
  • ¼ cup brown sugar, packed (for streusel)
  • ¼ cup cold unsalted butter, cubed (for streusel)
  • ½ tsp cinnamon (for streusel)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan and line with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (3-4 minutes).
  4. Beat in eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla extract.
  5. Reduce mixer speed to low. Add dry ingredients in three additions, alternating with pumpkin puree in two additions, starting and ending with dry ingredients. Mix just until combined.
  6. Gently fold in chocolate chips with a spatula.
  7. In a small bowl, combine streusel ingredients (½ cup flour, ¼ cup brown sugar, ½ tsp cinnamon, ¼ cup cold butter) until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  8. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and smooth top. Sprinkle streusel evenly over batter.
  9. Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs. Tent with foil if browning too quickly after 40 minutes.
  10. Cool in pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Ensure butter is softened but not melted. Do not overmix the batter to avoid tough bread. For gluten-free option, use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend with xanthan gum. For dairy-free, use vegan butter and ensure chocolate chips are dairy-free. Fresh pumpkin puree can be used if drained to remove excess moisture.
