Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread
Ingredients (makes one loaf)
- 1 1/2 cup whole-wheat flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 1/2 cup no-sugar-added applesauce
- 1/4 cup almond milk
- 1 cup canned pumpkin
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- Pinch salt
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Combine flour, baking powder, cinnamon and sugar in a large bowl. Place egg, milk, applesauce and vanilla in a small bowl. Add wet ingredients to dry. Stir in pumpkin, followed by chocolate chips. Spoon batter into a 9 x 5 loaf pan coated with nonstick cooking spray. Note: I probably would have added about 1/2 tsp of nutmeg if I had some, but I didn’t feel like running out mid-prep (yeah, just call me lazy!).
Bake for 1 hour or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
