Decadent Chocolate Pumpkin Swirl Bread

Introducing: Chocolate Pumpkin Swirl Bread

Hey there, foodies! Today, I’m thrilled to share a delightful recipe that combines two of my favorite flavors: chocolate and pumpkin. This unique twist on a classic bread is perfect for cozy autumn days or as a special treat for any occasion. Let’s dive into the delicious details!

Ingredients:

• 250g all-purpose flour
• 50g cocoa powder
• 10g baking powder
• 5g baking soda
• 3g salt
• 200g pumpkin puree
• 150g brown sugar
• 2 eggs
• 100ml vegetable oil
• 5ml vanilla extract
• 100g chocolate chips

Kitchen Tools:

• mixing bowl
• whisk
• loaf pan
• spatula
• oven

I start by preheating the oven to 350°F (175°C) and greasing a loaf pan. In a mixing bowl, I combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, I mix together the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until well combined. Then, I gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Next, I gently fold in the chocolate chips.

I pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Then, in a small bowl, I mix together 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder with 2 tablespoons of sugar. I sprinkle half of this mixture over the batter in the pan. I top with the remaining batter and sprinkle the remaining cocoa-sugar mixture on top.

I bake the bread for about 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Once baked, I let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

This Chocolate Pumpkin Swirl Bread weighs approximately 900g after baking and serves 8. Each serving is about 113g with an estimated calorie count of 280.

One unique tip for this recipe is to add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter for an extra hint of warmth and spice. It really takes this bread to the next level!

I hope you give this Chocolate Pumpkin Swirl Bread a try soon. Enjoy the cozy blend of chocolate and pumpkin flavors, and feel free to make it your own with your favorite additions. Happy baking!
