                    600 grams of pumpkin (300 grams of pumpkin puree)

200 grams of flour

1 teaspoon of baking powder

½ teaspoon of salt

2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon
 
½ teaspoon of vanilla sugar

120 milliliters of vegetable oil

Instructions:

 
                Step 1 Wash the pumpkin, peel it, and remove the seeds. Cut it into small pieces. Place the pumpkin pieces in a saucepan with 200 ml of water and bring to a boil. Cook for 10 minutes after boiling, then cover with a lid and cook for another 10 minutes. Mash the cooked pumpkin with a fork or mixer until smooth to make a puree.

Step 2 In a bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, salt, vanilla sugar, and cinnamon.

Step 3 In another bowl, whisk the sugar and eggs using a fork or whisk. Add vegetable oil and milk, and mix well.

Step 4 Add the pumpkin puree and stir until well combined.

Step 5 Gradually add the flour mixture and mix thoroughly.

Step 6 Optionally, stir in the chocolate chips or pecans.

Step 7 Line a bread pan with parchment paper and pour the mixture into the pan.

Step 8 Bake at 180°C (with convection) on the middle rack for 60 minutes. If the top of the pumpkin bread starts to burn, cover it with parchment paper or foil after about 40 minutes.
