Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa

2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

1 1/2 cups pumpkin puree

3/4 cup packed light brown sugar

1/2 cup canola oil or vegetable oil

1/4 cup buttermilk at room temperature

2 large eggs at room temperature, slightly beaten

1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

1 cup chocolate chips divided

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9×5 loaf pan with nonstick spray and line with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, and sea salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, oil, buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir by hand until smooth and combined.
  4. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, don’t overmix. Stir in 3/4 cup of the chocolate chips.
  5. Pour batter into prepared pan. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of chocolate chips over the top of the bread. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out mostly clean. Check at 50 minutes to see if done, then add more minutes if needed.
  6. Remove the pan from the oven and set on a wire cooling rack. Let the bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Lift the parchment and place on a cooling rack until cooled. Cut into slices and serve.
