PUMPKIN CHOCOLATE CHIP BREAD

Serves: 8-10

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour plus more for coating chocolate chips

• 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

• 1/4 teaspoon salt

• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

• 1 cup granulated sugar

• 1 cup pumpkin puree

• 3/4 cup vegetable oil

• 2 eggs

• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 1 1/4 cups semisweet chocolate chips divided use

• cooking spray

TO MAKE

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat an 8″ x 4″ loaf pan with cooking spray and line the bottom with parchment paper.

   
   

2. Place the flour, pumpkin pie spice, salt and baking soda in a large bowl; whisk to combine.

   
   

3. Add the sugar, pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, eggs and vanilla extract to the flour mixture. Stir until just combined.

   
   

4. Toss 1 cup of the chocolate chips with 1 tablespoon flour. Stir the chocolate chips into the batter.

   
   

5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup chocolate chips over the top of the loaf.

   
   

6. Bake for 55-65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes, then run a thin knife along the sides of the pan to loosen the bread.

   
   

7. Let the bread cool in the pan, then invert, slice and serve.
