Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
• 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
• 0.25 cup Milk
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 cup Hershey's Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
• 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, milk, and eggs. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and uniform.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula or spoon until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 5

Fold in the Hershey's chocolate chips and chopped nuts (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Smooth the top with a spatula if necessary.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Be careful not to overbake.

Step 8

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Slice and serve! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
