Step-by-Step Instructions for Chocolate Pumpkin Bread
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x5 inch loaf pan by lightly greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until smooth and uniform.
  3. In a separate bowl, blend the sugar, pumpkin puree, water, oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined, being careful not to over-mix.
  5. Fold in mini chocolate chips if desired for extra chocolate flavor.
  6. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan, leveling the top. Optionally, sprinkle more mini chocolate chips on top.
  7. Bake for 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Once baked, let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
