Fiery Fall Delight: Spicy Chocolate Pumpkin Bread

Today’s Unique Creation: Spicy Chocolate Pumpkin Bread

Hey there, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share a recipe that brings together the warm flavors of fall with a spicy kick and a touch of sweetness. This Spicy Chocolate Pumpkin Bread is perfect for cozy mornings or as a special treat any time of day.

Ingredients:

• 150g all-purpose flour
• 30g cocoa powder
• 5g baking powder
• 200g pumpkin puree
• 100g brown sugar
• 2 eggs
• 80ml vegetable oil
• 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp nutmeg
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 100g dark chocolate chips

Kitchen Tools:

• mixing bowl
• whisk
• loaf pan
• spatula
• oven

To start, preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease a loaf pan. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, cayenne pepper, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. In a separate bowl, mix together the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, eggs, and vegetable oil until well combined. Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the dark chocolate chips.

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

This Spicy Chocolate Pumpkin Bread is rich and moist with a subtle heat from the cayenne pepper. The dark chocolate chips add a decadent touch, making it a delightful treat for chocolate lovers.

One unique tip for this recipe is to sprinkle a little extra cinnamon on top of the batter before baking. This will add a beautiful aroma and an extra layer of flavor to the finished bread.
