Double Chocolate Pumpkin Bread

Double Chocolate Pumpkin Bread combines rolled oats blended into flour with cocoa powder, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, and sea salt to create a moist, dense quick bread. Wet ingredients include pumpkin puree, eggs, avocado oil, pure maple syrup, and optional vanilla extract. Chocolate chips folded in provide pockets of melty sweetness. The bread is baked covered then uncovered to develop a tender crumb with chocolate richness and autumnal spice.

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a 9” x 5” loaf pan with parchment paper.
  2. Transfer the oats to a high-powered blender and blend for 30-60 seconds on high speed, until a flour forms.
  3. Add the cocoa powder, pumpkin spice, baking powder, and sea salt to the blender and blend until all of the dry ingredients are combined.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the eggs, pumpkin puree, avocado oil, pure maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
  5. Add the dry ingredients to the large mixing bowl with the wet ingredients and mix well until a thick batter forms.
  6. Stir in the chocolate chips.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth it into an even layer. Top the batter with extra chocolate chips if you’d like.
  8. Cover the bread pan with aluminum foil and bake on the center rack of the preheated oven for 40 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 15 to 25 minutes, or until the bread tests clean.
  9. Quick breads are fully baked once they reach an internal temperature of 190 to 200 degrees Fahrenheit. Insert a digital thermometer into the center of the bread and wait until the numbers stop moving to get an accurate temperature read to check for doneness. While this step isn’t mandatory, it helps take the guesswork out of the baking time.
  10. Let bread cool to room temperature before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Store bread wrapped at room temperature up to 2 days if humidity is low; otherwise refrigerate in airtight containers for up to 1 week.
  • Muffins made from the batter can be frozen in zip-lock bags for up to 3 months.
