Equipment
- Loaf pans (two 8x4 inch)
- Parchment Paper
- Mixing Bowls
- Whisk
- Wire Rack
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 4 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 2 cups canned pumpkin puree not pie filling
- 0.67 cup packed brown sugar
- 0.67 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup unsweetened applesauce or canola oil for richness
- 3 large eggs at room temperature
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips optional, for sprinkling on top
Instructions
- Get Ready to Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease two 8x4 inch loaf pans and line them with parchment paper for easy removal.
- Mix Dry Goodness: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and pumpkin pie spice until well combined. Set this aside.
- Combine Wet Wonders: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, granulated sugar, applesauce (or oil), eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Gently Blend: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir just until everything is moistened and combined. Remember, don't overmix!
- Add Chocolatey Joy: Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips. If you like, save a small handful of mini chocolate chips to sprinkle on top later.
- Bake to Perfection: Divide the batter evenly between your two prepared loaf pans. Bake for 50 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
- Cool & Enjoy: Let the bread cool in the pans for 10 minutes before carefully transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and savor this wholesome treat!
