Step-by-Step Instructions for Chocolate Pumpkin Bread
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a loaf pan by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
  2. Mix the dry ingredients: flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar in a mixing bowl until uniform.
  3. Combine the wet ingredients: pumpkin puree, water, oil or almond butter, and vanilla extract in another bowl, stirring until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined; avoid over-mixing.
  5. Spread the batter in the loaf pan, and sprinkle chocolate chips on top if desired.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes, checking doneness with a toothpick.
  7. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
