Servings: 10
Ingredients
- 2 large Eggs
- ½ cup Oil (neutral - vegetable or canola)
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla
- 1 cup Sugar
- 1 15-ounce can Pumpkin Puree (not pie filling)
- 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1 Tablespoon Baking Powder
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- ¼ cup Cocoa Powder
- 2 teaspoons Instant Espresso Powder
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Pumpkin Pie Spice
- 2 cups Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
Instructions
Prep
- Gather everything you'll need together. Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9”x5”x3” loaf pan with cooking spray, or grease it well with butter.
Mix Wet Ingredients
- In a large mixing bowl, add the eggs, oil, and vanilla. Whisk until well combined.
- Add the sugar and pumpkin puree and mix well.
Sift In Dry Ingredients
- Add the flour, baking powder, salt, cocoa powder, espresso powder, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice to a sifter and sift directly into the bowl of wet ingredients. Mix just to combine, but don’t overmix.
- Fold in ¾ of the chocolate chips.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared 9x5x3-inch loaf pan and spread it evenly. Then sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips over the top.
Bake
- Bake for 55 minutes to 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean of batter (though it may have melted chocolate on it).
Cool & Serve
- Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove the loaf from the pan and continue to cool on a wire rack to your preferred temperature.
