- ½ cup brown sugar (light or dark)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- ½ tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan with nonstick spray or line it with parchment paper.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and salt until evenly combined.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, eggs, and vegetable oil until smooth.
- Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture. Stir gently until just combined—avoid overmixing. Fold in chocolate chips.
- Bake It Up: Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for about 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about ten minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Slice once cooled slightly; serve plain or with butter.
