Healthy Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread

This is Emma's favorite treat!  I love anything pumpkin and fall time is the perfect season to get a great deal on pumpkin puree or to even make it yourself!



2 cups spelt or whole wheat flour or a combination of any grain flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
1/2 cup organic raw agave
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
4 tablespoons organic canola oil
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup chocolate chips

In a large bowl mix together the flour, baking powder and soda.  Set aside.
In another large bowl mix together with a whisk the pumpkin puree, agave, spices, salt, oil, eggs and vanilla.
Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and fold in until just combined.  
Fold in the chocolate chips.

Place the batter into a greased 8 inch loaf pan.  Bake at 350` for 50-60 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean from the center.  Allow to cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes before serving.
