Ingredients

The following ingredients have 20 Servings
  • 3 1/3 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 (15-ounces) can pumpkin puree ( (not pumpkin pie filling))
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2/3 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • Coarse white sugar (for sprinkling on top (optional))

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly coat two 9" x 5" loaf pans with cooking spray.
  • Place the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and pumpkin spice, in a large mixing bowl. Whisk to combine.
  • Add the pumpkin puree, oil, sugars, eggs, water and vanilla to the flour mixture. Stir until just combined.
  • Add the chocolate chips and mix to combine.
  • Spoon the batter into the prepared pans. Sprinkle the tops of the loaves with coarse sparkling sugar, if desired.
  • Bake the bread for 60 to 80 minutes, or until a cake tester or toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean and that same tester inserted about 1/2" into the top of the loaf doesn't encounter any totally unbaked batter.
  • Remove the bread from the oven, and cool it on a rack. When it's completely cool, invert and serve. * see Chef's tips
