Equipment

  • Loaf pan
  • Mixing Bowls
  • whisk
  • sifter

Ingredients
  

  • 3 large eggs room temperature
  • 1.25 cup brown sugar
  • 0.75 cup butter melted
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 0.33 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 2 cups all purpose flour 240g
  • 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 0.5 cup cocoa powder
  • 0.33 cup boiling water
  • 0.5 teaspoon instant espresso optional
  • 0.5 cup mini semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 355°F (180°C). Line a loaf pan with parchment paper, or spray it with baking spray.
  • In a large bowl, combine eggs and brown sugar. Whisk with a wire whisk until it thickens slightly and has a foamy top, about 30 seconds by hand.
  • Add the melted butter, pumpkin puree, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, salt, and pumpkin pie spice into the batter and beat again.
  • Sift the flour, baking powder, and baking soda right into the same bowl. Stir or fold gently just until it forms a batter.
  • In a separate smaller bowl, carefully combine cocoa powder, boiling hot water, and espresso powder (optional). Whisk together carefully until it forms a smooth, thick, glossy mixture.
  • Divide the batter in half, transferring one of the halves into another bowl. Add the cocoa powder mixture into one of the halves and fold it in gently to create a chocolate batter. Fold the chocolate chips gently into the chocolate batter.
  • Alternate adding the batters into the loaf pan to create layers.
  • Bake the chocolate pumpkin loaf in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the chocolate pumpkin loaf rest for 10 minutes in the pan before removing it and letting it cool the rest of the way.
  • Slice into it once it's at room temperature and serve!
