Equipment

Loaf Pan This 9" non-stick loaf pan by Wilton is the perfect size for any quick bread or loaf cake recipe!
Parchment Paper Sheets These pre-cut parchment paper sheets are super convenient and the perfect size for lining a loaf pan.
Mixing Bowls These stainless steel mixing bowls are an essential cooking tool for every kitchen.

Ingredients

1 cup pumpkin puree canned
2 eggs
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
1/4 cup maple syrup use REAL maple syrup, not pancake syrup
1/4 cup honey
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups white whole wheat flour
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup chocolate chunks divided (optional)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9 x 5" loaf pan with parchment paper. Set aside
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: pumpkin, eggs, yogurt, honey, maple syrup and vanilla. Set wet ingredients aside.
In a separate bowl, combine the dry ingredients: flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, and stir together with a rubber scraper until fully combined. Batter will be thick. Fold in 1/2 cup of the chocolate chunks, reserving the rest for the top of the loaf.
Pour batter into prepared pan, and spread evenly. Top with the remaining chocolate chunks.
Bake for 55-60 minutes at 350 degrees. After 45 minutes I would recommend topping the loaf with a sheet of aluminum foil to prevent over-browning.
Remove from oven and let cool to room temperature. Lift loaf out of pan by the edges of the parchment paper. Slice and enjoy!

Notes

If you do not have Pumpkin Pie Spice on hand you can use the following: 1 tsp. cinnamon, 1/2 tsp. ginger, 1/4 tsp. cloves, 1/4 tsp. nutmeg.
