  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 3/4 cup vegetable oil

  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups semisweet chocolate chips (divided use)

    Place the flour, pumpkin pie spice, salt and baking soda in a large bowl; whisk to combine.

    Add the sugar, pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, eggs and vanilla extract to the flour mixture. Stir until just combined.

    Toss 1 cup of the chocolate chips with 1 tablespoon flour. Stir the chocolate chips into the batter.

    Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup chocolate chips over the top of the loaf.

    Bake for 55-65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes, then run a thin knife along the sides of the pan to loosen the bread.
