Ingredients
Scale
- 3/4 cup whole wheat flour
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt (see notes)
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons refined coconut oil, melted (or vegetable oil)
- 1 1/2 cups pumpkin puree
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (or regular chocolate chips)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease an 8 x 4 inch loaf pan. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flours, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, eggs, and oil until smooth. Whisk in the pumpkin puree and vanilla extract until combined.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Stir until just combined. Do not over mix.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips, reserving about 1 tablespoon of chocolate chips for the next step.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips on top. Bake for 65-75 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out mostly clean with only a few crumbs.
- Cool for 10 minutes in the loaf pan before removing and placing on a wire rack to cool completely.
