Ingredients

The following ingredients have 12 Servings
  • 1/2 cup applesauce
  • 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
  • 2 eggs (lightly beaten)
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 3/4 cups white whole-wheat flour
  • 3/4 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Grease a 9x5 loaf pan and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, beat the applesauce, maple syrup, and eggs with a whisk until the mixture is well blended.
  • Add the pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, salt, and baking soda and whisk until just blended.
  • Add the flour and stir with a large silicone spatula until just moistened. Some lumps are okay, but don’t over mix!
  • Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips before pouring the batter into the greased loaf pan.
  • Bake for 1 hour, until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
  • Let the bread cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing.
