Ingredients
1 cup canned pumpkin purée
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 large eggs
0.5 cup vegetable oil
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 tsp pumpkin spice
1 tsp baking soda
0.5 tsp salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a 9×5 loaf pan thoroughly.
Whisk the flour, pumpkin spice, baking soda, and salt together in a large mixing bowl.
In a separate medium bowl, combine the pumpkin purée, brown sugar, eggs, and oil until smooth.
Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined.
Let the batter rest for ten minutes to fully hydrate the flour.
Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, layering additional chips if desired.
Bake for 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
Resting the batter for ten minutes before pouring is the secret to preventing a gummy texture. Room temperature eggs ensure a better emulsion and a loftier rise. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
