Step-by-Step Instructions

  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon if desired.
  3. In another bowl, mix together pumpkin puree, sugar, water, oil or almond butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir gently until just combined, folding in mini chocolate chips if desired.
  5. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top.
