How to Make Rich Moist Secret Ingredient Pumpkin Bread

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg.
  5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the pumpkin puree, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  6. Stir in the chocolate chips and chopped pecans.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Once cooled, slice and enjoy! Store leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
