Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray and lightly dust with flour or line with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In another bowl, beat the eggs, sugar, pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
- Use high-quality cocoa powder for a richer chocolate flavor.
- Add a teaspoon of cinnamon or nutmeg for extra warmth.
- To keep the bread moist, store it tightly wrapped in plastic wrap or in an airtight container.
- Reheat slices in the microwave for a quick warm-up.
