Pumpkin bread, a soft and fragrant bread you will fall in love with at first bite. It is a spiced bread, perfect for any time of the day: excellent for breakfast with a delicious cappuccino or as a snack with a steaming cup of tea. Its soft and moist texture keeps until the next day, so I recommend preparing it a day in advance. This recipe is enriched with chocolate chips, but you can enjoy it in its simplicity or add nuts: walnuts, hazelnuts. What are you waiting for, then? Autumn is the season of pumpkins, prepare it now!

Steps
Peel the pumpkin; remove the strings; wash it, dry it, and cut it into cubes. Blend it with a mixer while adding the sunflower oil to make a puree.
In a bowl, beat the eggs with the sugar. Once they are pale and frothy, add the pumpkin puree. Mix and gradually add the sifted flour, milk, spices, and finally the chocolate chips and sifted baking powder.
Pour the mixture into a loaf pan (10 inches) lined with parchment paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 356°F for about an hour. Use a toothpick to test if it’s done.
Let the pumpkin bread cool down and enjoy it immediately, or if you can, enjoy it the next day, it will be even better!
