Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240g) pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (100g) packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (170g) semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips
  • 4 oz (115g) cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1–2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan and line with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together vegetable oil, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and pumpkin puree until smooth.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt.
  4. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and fold together with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Gently fold in chocolate chips.
  6. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool bread in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. While bread cools, beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk, mixing until a drizzle-able consistency is reached.
  9. Drizzle glaze over completely cooled bread and let set for 15 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Ensure eggs and cream cheese are at room temperature for best texture. Do not overmix the batter to avoid a dense loaf. Cool the bread completely before glazing to prevent the glaze from melting. Pumpkin puree should be 100% pure pumpkin, not pie filling.
