• 0.25 cups cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups brown sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
• 0.5 cups vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.75 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 0.5 cups sliced almonds

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In another large bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and eggs. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened.

Step 4

Add the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the wet ingredients. Mix well until fully combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring with a spatula or spoon just until incorporated. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the chocolate chips and sliced almonds gently, ensuring they're evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

Step 9

Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Slice and serve! This bread can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated for up to a week.
