Every time I make this, it goes so quickly! It's moist, tender, and flavorful. I was surprised how much I like this, and I don't even like chocolate. It can be made into muffins, loaves, or even a Bundt cake.

Time 1h

Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
½ teaspoon salt
2 cups canned pumpkin
2 ½ cups white sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
4 beaten eggs
1 cup chopped pecans
1 cup miniature chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease two 8x4 inch loaf pans.
  • Sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a bowl.
  • In another bowl, mash the pumpkin, and stir in the sugar, oil, and eggs. Pour the flour mixture into the pumpkin mixture, and stir lightly to combine. Use a rubber spatula to fold the pecans and chocolate chips into the batter. Gently run the spatula through the center of the bowl, then around the sides of the bowl, repeating until fully incorporated.
  • Fill the prepared loaf pans about 3/4 full, and bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, until the bread has risen, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.

PUMPKIN BLONDIES WITH CHOCOLATE AND PECANS



Pumpkin Blondies With Chocolate and Pecans image

Festive and earthy, these bars are made with canned pumpkin purée, which nudges them toward cake territory while maintaining that chewy, rich and irresistible blondie texture. For a swirly chocolate ribbon effect, work with butter that is still ever-so-slightly warm, so that the chocolate chunks have a chance to melt a bit as you fold them in.

Categories     snack, cookies and bars

Time 50m

Yield 16 blondies

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup/115 grams unsalted butter (1 stick), melted and cooled slightly, plus more for greasing the pan
1/2 cup/125 grams canned pumpkin purée
1/2 cup/110 grams packed dark brown sugar
1/3 cup/65 grams granulated sugar
1 large egg yolk
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 1/3 cups/170 grams all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
3 ounces/85 grams bittersweet chocolate chunks (a generous 1/2 cup)
1/2 cup/50 grams coarsely chopped pecans

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and line an 8-by-8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on two sides.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the butter, pumpkin purée, sugars, egg yolk and vanilla extract. Fold in the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, salt and most of the chocolate and pecans. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan, smooth into an even layer and sprinkle the top with the remaining chocolate and pecans.
  • Bake until the top looks dry and set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached, 25 to 35 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through. Transfer to a rack to cool completely.
  • To serve, use the paper overhang to transfer the blondies to a cutting board. Cut into 16 pieces. Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 1 month.

Tips:

  • Use fresh pumpkin puree: Fresh pumpkin puree has a more intense flavor than canned puree. To make your own pumpkin puree, simply roast a pumpkin in the oven until soft, then scoop out the flesh and blend it until smooth.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will result in a tough, dense bread. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a loaf pan that is at least 9x5 inches: A smaller loaf pan will result in a bread that is too tall and may not cook evenly.
  • Bake the bread at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: The bread is done baking when it is golden brown and has a slightly firm crust.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing: This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.

Conclusion:

This chocolate pecan pumpkin bread is a delicious and festive treat that is perfect for fall. The bread is moist and flavorful, with a rich chocolate flavor and a hint of pumpkin spice. The pecans add a nice crunch and texture to the bread. This bread is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. It is also a great gift for friends and family.
