Units
Scale
- 1 cup melted coconut oil
- 2 cups brown sugar (set aside 2/3 cup)
- 2 cups pumpkin puree
- 4 eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups all purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon cardamom
- 1/2 teaspoon ginger
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
Chocolate Layer
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease two 9×5 bread pans with butter, or use parchment paper to prevent bread from sticking.
- Melt coconut oil. In a large bowl whisk together melted coconut oil, brown sugar and pumpkin puree until incorporated. Add eggs one at a time and mix until incorporated. Add vanilla.
- Add the baking powder, spices and salt to the pumpkin mixture. Mix together. Add the flour and mix until fully combined. Add one cup of chocolate chips and mix. Divide dough equally between prepared pans.
- melt the remaining chocolate and butter together in a microwave or double broiler. Pour equally on top of both loaves. Using a knife, swirl chocolate into batter lightly. Top loaves with remaining brown sugar.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes or until center is set. Cover with foil for the last 15 minutes to prevent the sugar from burning. Cool for at least 15 minutes before removing from pans. Enjoy!
Notes
- You can use milk chocolate or dark chocolate, either is delicious!
- You can buy pumpkin pie mix, but I like to mix in my own favorite spices: cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom and ginger. I find it easier to control the flavors than relying on pre-made
- Make sure to cover bread the last 15 minutes of bake time – to keep sugar from burning.
