When I was meal prepping this weekend I wanted to put a different fruit or vegetable in every item I made Owen.

One of the things that I made him were these whole grain pumpkin peanut butter pancakes and as such, I had some leftover pumpkin!

I made Ollie some pumpkin peanut butter dog treats and then whipped up this batch of whole grain pumpkin chocolate chip bread!

I love baking with pumpkin because it adds such a nice moistness to the baked goods.

On top of that, pumpkin offers up fiber, vitamin C and antioxidants, including beta-carotene and other carotenoids, making it a nutrient-dense add-in!

I personally love to slather it with peanut butter (if you’ve never tried the peanut butter/chocolate chip/pumpkin combo, you have to get on it ASAP. It is amazing) but you can also serve it with a big glass of milk (my husband’s favorite!).

This bread makes a great snack, dessert or even breakfast if you like something sweet in the morning.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 stick of butter, room temperature (or defrosted until soft)
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2/3 cup + 4 tablespoons packed brown sugar (light or dark)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 2 cups white whole wheat flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice *(see note)
  • 3/4 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9×5 inch pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy.  Beat in eggs, one at a time then add vanilla extract and pumpkin, continuing to beat until all ingredients are combined.
  3. In a separate mixing bowl, add flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and pumpkin pie spice, whisking to ensure ingredients are well combined.
