Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup whole grain spelt flour (130 g)
  • 1 ¼ cup all purpose flour (160 g)
  • ¾ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg powder
  • ¼ teaspoon clove powder

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsweetened pumpkin puree (225 g)
  • ¾ cup dry sweetener (150 g)
  • ⅓ cup natural Greek yogurt (80 g), room temperature
  • ⅓ cup coconut oil (80 ml), in liquid form
  • 2 large eggs , room temperature

Other

  • ½ cup chocolate chips (90 g), with bit more to sprinkle on top

Instructions

  • Preheat oven at 350ºF (175ºC). Grease and line a 5x9 inch loaf pan (13x23 cm).

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.
  • Finally add in chocolate chips and fold everything together with a spatula. Pour into the pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle some chocolate chips on top.

Bake

  • Bake for 50-65 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from the pan and leave to cool completely on a rack before slicing.

Notes

  • Use spoon and level method when measuring (for cup measurement)
  • 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.
