Description
A delightful treat that combines cozy pumpkin flavors with rich chocolate in an easy-to-make marbled loaf.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1.75 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 0.5 tsp baking powder
- 0.5 tsp fine salt
- 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 2 large eggs (room temperature)
- 1 cup pumpkin puree (100% pumpkin, not pie filling)
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup milk (any milk works)
- 0.33 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (natural or Dutch-process)
- 0.5 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)
- 1 tbsp milk (optional, to loosen chocolate batter if needed)
- 0.25 tsp ground cinnamon (optional boost of spice)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and pumpkin pie spice.
- In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and milk until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Take about 1 cup of the batter and place it in a separate bowl. Add the cocoa powder and mix until combined. If the chocolate batter is too thick, you can add a tablespoon of milk to loosen it.
- In the prepared loaf pan, alternate spoonfuls of the pumpkin batter and chocolate batter. Use a knife to swirl the two together to create a marbled effect.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
