Ingredients

FOR THE PUMPKIN CHOCOLATE CHIP BREAD

  • 1 ¾ cups Whole Wheat Flour
  • 1 cup Pumpkin Purée (NOT Pumpkin Pie Filling)
  • 1 cup Chocolate Chips
  • ½ cup Honey
  • ⅓ cup Coconut Oil
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1 tbsp Pumpkin Pie Spice
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • ¼ cup Milk of Choice

FOR THE CINNAMON SUGAR TOPPING (OPTIONAL BUT RECOMMENDED)

  • 2 tbsp Coconut Sugar
  • ½ tsp Cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F and grease a 9 x 5 loaf pan with coconut oil or butter and set aside.
  • Add all the dry ingredients for the pumpkin bread to a large bowl. That is the flour, pumpkin spice, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
    bowl of cinnamon, flour and baking powder
  • Stir with a whisk until well combined.
    bowl of flour mixed with other dry baking ingredients
  • Add all of the wet ingredients for the pumpkin bread to a separate large bowl. That is the pumpkin purée, honey, coconut oil, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk.

  • Whisk/stir until just combined and no lumps of flour remain. Careful not to overmix or your pumpkin bread will turn out dense instead of moist.

  • Bake for 60-75 minutes until the pumpkin bread is nicely browned and puffy. It's done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes and then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling before slicing*

Notes

If the loaf pan was greased correctly, you should have no problem getting the pumpkin bread out of the pan and onto the wire rack to finish cooling. If it's still slightly stuck, run around the edges with a butter knife to help it along. The best way to get it out of the pan, I find, is by flipping it over and turning it out onto the wire rack instead of trying to lift it out.
