Ingredients
 

  • 3 1/2 cup white all purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon
  • 2 cup sugar
  • 2 cup pumpkin puree 15 ounce can, not pie filling
  • 4 eggs
  • 2/3 cup oil
  • 2/3 cup water
  • 12 oz. chocolate chips semi sweet or dark chocolate

Instructions

  • Spray two 9 x 5 inch loaf pans with cooking spray. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a medium bowl combine the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, baking powder and pumpkin pie spice
    3 1/2 cup white all purpose flour, 2 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, 2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon, 2 cup sugar
  • In another bowl mix the pumpkin, eggs, oil or shortening and water.
    2 cup pumpkin puree, 4 eggs, 2/3 cup oil, 2/3 cup water
  • Combine the wet and dry ingredients together and stir until the flour is just mixed in. Mix by hand, not with a mixer. Stir the chocolate chips in and mix to combine.
    12 oz. chocolate chips
  • Bake the loaf pans at 350 F for 60-70 minutes.
  • If the loaves start to brown too much on top tent them with foil after 40 minutes.
  • Test for doneness by testing the center with a knife or toothpick. Baking times will vary depending on how wet your pumpkin puree is, so always check the center.
  • Let the loaves cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Then take them out and cool them on a baking rack until completely cooled.

Notes

  • If you don’t have pumpkin pie spice you substitute 2 teaspoons of cinnamon.
