This yummy recipe is perfect for a quick breakfast or a healthy afternoon snack.

Why You Should Make This Recipe

Made in one bowl, this easy pumpkin quick bread with chocolate chips is made with healthier ingredients like Greek yogurt and coconut oil. Greek yogurt adds lots of flavor, moisture and a slight health advantage over canola oil or vegetable oil.

The texture of this bread is soft, spongy and moist. This quick bread is also full of pumpkin flavor with warm fall spices and is just the right amount of sweet.

Ingredients Needed & Substitutions

This pumpkin quick bread is made with only a few simple ingredients. I’ve also included substitutions below.

Greek Yogurt Pumpkin Quick Bread ingredients: flour, brown sugar, pumpkin puree, greek yogurt, coconut oil, vanilla, egg, chocolate chips, salt, baking soda, cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice.
  • pumpkin puree – make sure to use 100% pumpkin puree and NOT pumpkin pie filling
  • Greek yogurt
  • egg
  • coconut oil – you could use canola oil
  • brown sugar, lightly packed – make it even healthier by substituting with honey or pure maple syrup. You can also use coconut sugar too.
  • pure vanilla extract
  • baking soda
  • ground cinnamon
  • pumpkin pie spice – try my homemade pumpkin pie spice recipe.
  • kosher salt
  • all-purpose flour – substitute with white whole wheat flour or whole wheat pastry flour. If you use regular whole wheat flour, the bread will be denser.
  • dark chocolate chips – use milk chocolate chips or semi-sweet chocolate chips. Use nuts for a healthier option.

See the recipe card below for quantities.

Recommended Equipment & Tools

Not only does this recipe call for simple, basic ingredients, but it also uses staple kitchen equipment. All you need is a large mixing bowl, a whisk, a spatula and an 8” x 4” loaf pan. Here are my favorites:

  • large mixing bowl
  • whisk
  • spatula
  • 8” x 4” loaf pan
  • measuring spoons
  • measuring cups

Storage 

Keep the pumpkin bread tightly wrapped in plastic wrap and a zip-top bag at room temperature for up to 2 to 3 days.

Pumpkin bread freezes well. Tightly wrap it in plastic wrap and then aluminum foil. Next, place the bread in a freezer zip-top bag, label and place in the freezer. This bread can be frozen for up to 3 months.

Tips for Recipe Success

  • For easier ingredient incorporation, bring all refrigerated ingredients to room temperature.
  • Make sure to use 100% pumpkin puree instead of pumpkin pie filling.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why should all the ingredients be at room temperature?

When baking, it’s best to have all the ingredients at room temperature. This plays an essential role in developing a light texture and structure to the baked good.

When ingredients such as eggs, butter and dairy are at room temperature, they whisk or cream together more evenly, creating a velvety batter. Room temperature ingredients also help batter or dough rise more easily and create shorter and more consistent baking times.

How long should ingredients sit out to be at room temperature?

Ingredients should sit out no longer than 2 hours to come to room temperature. This is due to food safety related concerns.

So, what’s the sweet spot for allowing ingredients like eggs, butter or milk to come to room temperature? I generally place my ingredients on the counter for about 30 minutes to 1 hour depending on the temperature of my kitchen.

Can I use pumpkin pie filling instead of pumpkin puree?

You could, but I can't guarantee this recipe's success or sweetness. I tested this recipe only using 100% pumpkin puree. Canned pumpkin pie filling contains spices, sugar and vanilla so it would affect the intended flavors of this recipe.
 
100% canned pumpkin puree has only roasted pumpkin and nothing else. This is the ingredient we used in this recipe.
