For the Batter

  • 1/2 cup Vegetable or Canola Oil Substitute with unsweetened applesauce or melted coconut oil for a lighter option.

  3. Pour in the vegetable oil and vanilla extract, stirring gently until the mixture resembles a sandy texture.
  4. Add the pumpkin puree and mix with a spatula until a thick, smooth batter forms.
  5. Fold in half of the chopped semisweet chocolate, then pour the batter into the prepared baking pan.
