For a richer flavor, use brown butter instead of vegetable oil. Toast the almonds yourself for the best flavor. Store the cooled bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Embrace the cozy flavors of autumn with this delightful Chocolate Almond Pumpkin Bread. A moist and fragrant loaf, studded with rich chocolate chips and crunchy toasted almonds, it's the perfect treat to warm your kitchen and your soul.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and lightly flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan. (5 minutes)
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, pumpkin pie spice, and baking powder. (5 minutes)
In a separate bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, water, and eggs. Whisk until smooth. (3 minutes)
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. (2 minutes)
Gently fold in the chocolate chips and toasted almonds. (2 minutes)
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly. (1 minute)
Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. (1 hour 15 minutes)
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. (10 minutes)
For a richer flavor, use brown butter instead of vegetable oil. Toast the almonds yourself for the best flavor. Store the cooled bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
