1 cup pumpkin puree
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup chocolate chips
Preheat your oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9×5-inch loaf pan by greasing it lightly or lining it with parchment paper.
Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.
Combine wet ingredients: In another bowl, beat the eggs, then add the pumpkin puree and vegetable oil. Mix until well combined.
Combine wet and dry: Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Use a spatula to gently mix them until just combined.
Add chocolate chips: Fold the chocolate chips into the batter, ensuring they’re evenly distributed.
Pour into the loaf pan: Pour your batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Baking time: Bake for approximately 60 to 70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cooling: Once done, remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
