Ingredient;

1½ Cups All–Purpose Flour (190 grams)

1 Cup Granulated White Sugar (200 grams)

1 Cup Pumpkin Purée (240 grams)

½ Cup Melted Butter (113 grams)

¼ Cup Warm water (60 ml)

1/3 Cup Chopped Walnuts (40 grams)

1/3 Cup Chocolate Chunks/Chips (40 grams)

2 Large Eggs ( at room Temperate)

½ tsp Baking Powder

½ tsp Baking Soda

1/3 tsp Salt

½ tsp Ground Cinnamon

1/8 tsp Ground Ginger

1/8 tsp Ground Cloves

1 tsp Vanilla Extract

1 Tablespoon Pumpkin seeds

Procedure;

Pre−heat your Oven to 180°c (350°f)

Butter your baking pan and line with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, combine all the dry ingredients and whisk everything together and set aside.

In another bowl (medium size), using a Hand mixer or a whisk, whisk the eggs until it gets foamy. This may take about 3 minutes. Add sugar and whisk for another 2−3 minutes, then add the melted butter, vanilla extract, pumpkin purée, warm water and whisk together.

Now add the wet ingredients to the dry, add the chocolate chips, chopped nuts and using a spatula, mix together just until well combined. Place in the baking pan and bake for 45–50 minutes, depending on your oven. The Pumpkin bread is done when a tooth pick inserted at the center, comes out clean.

Let the bread cool for 20 minutes or so in the pan, on a wire rack. Take out of the baking pan and let it cool completely on the same rack, for another 10–15 minutes.

Enjoy this bread with a cup of tea, A glass of warm milk, some whip cream  etc.
