    Recipe Highlights

    Half eaten healthy chocolate chip pumpkin bread in a plate

    Texture and flavour - Tender moist cake, not overly sweet, delicious pumpkin flavour with cinnamon, nutmeg and clove lingering at the back.

    Size - 1 loaf of 5x9 inch (13x23 cm).

    Level - Only whisking by hand, so it's super easy.

    Occasion - Now! There should not be a limited time to enjoy this deliciousness but this weather makes it a must-make now.

    Lets Talk Ingredients

    Ingredients to make healthy chocolate chip pumpkin bread

    Spelt flour - I use whole grain spelt flour, where the texture is a bit coarser than white spelt flour. Also, its colour is similar to oat flour. White spelt flour works fine also, no worries.

    All purpose flour - I'm combining it with spelt flour. Why? Because spelt flour is a weak flour with weak structure and since this is a loaf bread (bigger in size) not muffins, so it needs a bit of help from the structure that all purpose flour provides to avoid the cake being too crumbly.

    Sweetener - I use erythritol. Use any dry sweetener that you prefer. Use 30% less amount if you're using white sugar. Don't use liquid sweetener as it will effect the wetness of the batter.

    Coconut oil - Use any oil that you like.

    Greek yogurt - Unsweetened natural full fat Greek yogurt. Adjust sugar accordingly if you use sweetened one. If you really really can't find it, then use natural full fat yogurt.

    Pumpkin puree - Canned pumpkin puree works brilliant in this, and less hassle also. Just make sure it's unsweetened 100% pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling.

    How To Make Pumpkin Puree

    If you can't find canned pumpkin puree then just make it yourself. It's super easy, I've done it so many times.

    Choose small baking pumpkins or ones that say pie or sugar pumpkins. Cut in halves, scoop out and discard the insides. Place skin side up on a tray lined with parchment paper, bake at 400ºF (200ºC) for 40-60 minutes or until when you poke a knife into it, it slides in super easy. Leave to cool, scoop out the flesh and blend until smooth in a food processor.

    I like to drain the puree for 2-3 hours, but that's just me. I put the puree inside a strainer, hanging inside a huge bowl and let the liquid drain. This way I get more concentrated pumpkin puree similar to the canned one.

    • Spatula

    Dry Ingredients

    • Mix everything in a medium sized bowl, set aside.
    • Add chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon of dry ingredients into a small bowl and mix well. Set aside.

    Wet Ingredients

    • Whisk everything until well combined in a big bowl, using a manual hand whisk.
    • Add dry ingredients half at a time and whisk everything together. Don't over mix it.

    • Use portable oven thermometer (like this one) for a more precise temperature reading (I use it all the time)
    • Keep at room temperature up to 3-4 days.
    • Lasts in the fridge up to 7 days, bring to room temperature before serving. It's nicer.
    • Frozen up to 4 months.
