Author Christi Johnstone
This delicious dark chocolate bread uses pumpkin and Greek yogurt in place of much of the oil or butter found in many bread recipes.

  • 1/3 cup vanilla Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla

  • 2/3 cup dark cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup chocolate chips or nuts optional

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Combine butter and yogurt with electric mixer until completely combined. Mix in sugar and beat until fluffy. Add eggs and mix until well combined. Add vanilla and pumpkin and mix until well combined. In a separate bowl, combine white whole wheat flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Slowly mix into the wet ingredients. Add in buttermilk, and mix just until combined. If adding chocolate chips or nuts, fold in.
  • Pour into a greased standard size loaf pan.
