Out of pumpkin pie spice?

If you are anything like me you hate going to the store for one thing before when you want to start baking. There are many things that can be substituted out if you are finding yourself short of an ingredient. If you are out of pumpkin pie spice you can simply combine 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/8 teaspoon ground allspice, and 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg.

How to make this Moist Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread

First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Grease your pan with the cooking spray, cut out a piece of parchment and line the bottom of the pan, spray just a bit more on top of the parchment. The parchment can be optional, however, I hate when the bread falls apart because it stuck in the pan, and this allows it to release from the pan much easier. Set the pan aside.

Next, combine the dry ingredients (flour, pumpkin pie spice, salt, baking soda, and sugar) in a large bowl. Use your whisk and give it a quick stir to combine the ingredients.

Then, toss in the wet ingredients (pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract.)

Again, use your rubber spatula to stir it all together until just combined. Set this bowl aside for a second.

Pour your chocolate chips into a small bowl with about a tablespoon of flour. Stir until the chocolate chips are coated. Scoop out the chocolate chips and add them to the mixture. Be sure to leave any extra flour behind and discard. This step will allow the chocolate chips to grip to the batter and not sink to the bottom of the pan.

Gently stir the mixture so that the chocolate chips are interspersed throughout, but do not overmix. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips onto the top of the batter.

Then, place in the oven for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick is inserted into the center of the loaf and comes out clean.

Cool for about 10 minutes. Run a knife around the edge of the pan to loosen the edges from the pan. Once the bread has cooled in the pan you can flip the pan over and gently remove the bread from the pan. If you are impatient, you can probably do this sooner, but there may be a chocolatey mess on your hands… not that it happened to me or anything! 😉
