¼cupmilkregular, soy, almond, etc.
2tablespoonsmild or medium molasses
2teaspoonsvanilla extract
¾cupmini semi-sweet chocolate chipsplus more for sprinkling on top
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400F. Spray three 5x3x2-inch mini loaf pans very well with floured cooking spray or grease and flour the pans; set aside.
To a large bowl add the flour, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, salt, and whisk together; set aside.
To a separate large bowl add the sugars, pumpkin, oil, milk, molasses, vanilla, and whisk until combined.
Pour the wet pumpkin mixture over the dry ingredients, and stir until just combined; don’t overmix.
Add the chocolate chips and stir to combine.
Evenly distribute batter between the 3 prepared pans, filling each about 2/3-full.
Evenly sprinkle a couple generous pinches of chocolate chips to the top of each pan.
Bake for about 35 to 40 minutes, or until tops are set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs, but no batter. Start checking at 30 minutes because all mini pans, ovens, and climates vary.
Allow bread to cool in pans for about 15 minutes before removing and placing on a wire rack to cool completely.
