Yield:
1 9x5-inch loaf

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • cup whole wheat flour

  • ¼ cup whole wheat flour

  • ½ teaspoon baking powder

  • ½ teaspoon baking soda

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger

  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves

  • 1 cup pumpkin puree

  • 1 cup white sugar

  • ½ cup applesauce

  • 2 eggs

  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

  • cup toasted chopped pecans

  • ¼ cup mini chocolate chips

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.

  2. Combine all-purpose flour, 1/3 cup plus 1/4 cups whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves in a medium bowl.

  3. Mix pumpkin, sugar, applesauce, eggs, and vanilla extract together using an electric mixer in a large bowl until well blended. Add pecans and chocolate chips and mix until evenly distributed. Pour into the prepared pan.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 50 to 55 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 15 to 20 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Cook's Notes:

Using a 9x5-inch loaf pan makes a 2 1/2-inch tall loaf. Use a slightly smaller loaf pan for a taller loaf; adjust baking time.

To make muffins, pour batter into 12 muffin cups that are greased or lined with baking cups. Bake for about 20 minutes.
