Pumpkin Mania continues. I wonder at what point it is that people start to get sick of it? November? December? Please let me know when to stop! Because I could keep it going for months. Anddd I might if you don’t tell me to put a sock in it.
I’m a choco-holic and love having the chocolate swirled in (I think it’s pretty fancy looking too!) but please feel free to add whatever ‘toppings’ you want instead: nuts, Pumpkins Seeds, chocolate chips.. you might even go crazy and dump some caramel on top after baking.
Chocolate Swirl Pumpkin Bread.
- 5 large eggs
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/4 cup oil or melted butter (dairy or nondairy)
- 1/2 cup palm sugar (or other granulated sugar of choice)
- 1/2 cup coconut flour
- 1/2 cup tapioca starch, or arrowroot will work
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 Tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 Tablespoon milk (dairy or nondairy)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips, melted (dairy or nondairy)
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a bread pan with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine all ingredients except the chocolate.
- Pour the bread batter into the bread pan.
- In a separate bowl, melt chocolate chips in the microwave until pourable. To help the chocolate pour, add a teaspoon of melted coconut oil to thin it out.
- Drizzle the chocolate over the bread and swirl into the dough using a knife.
- Bake for 45 minutes, and let cool before slicing.

Thanks for the recipe Brittany! I was just (like 10 minutes ago) in the mood for a rich chocolate/pumpkin loaf and then you posted this one on facebook. You always know what I need I’ll be sure to let you know how it turns out.
Absolutely wonderful loaf! Just wanted I needed cap off my night. Too bad there is only half left.
Quick notes: I used fresh pumpkin so I added a bit more sugar to balance the green taste I often find with using fresh. I also did more of a spiced pumpkin twist, adding ground ginger, more cinnamon, and nutmeg which worked out great. I would have kept to the recipe except my boyfriend was helping and he wanted to add more.
Thanks again!

Sounds amazing!!!
This is happening Friday!
What will happen if you don’t use the parchment?
It could potentially stick. I always use parchment so that I know it will come out perfect every time.
What exactly is tapioca starch? Is that like a flour? Or those pellets that make tapioca pudding?
It’s like a flour- similar to cornstarch!
Your thought on trying this egg-free?
Thank you for being so tireless in your experiments. It is truly appreciated
could I use almond or coconut flour? I have these on hand. thanks!
Just coconut! Almond never can be used in pace of it!
Is there a printer friendly button I’m missing?
This sounds delicious!
What size bread pan should I use? Thank you for a wonderful recipe and keep the pumpkin happiness coming!
I am allergic to eggs. Would flax seed work the same when a recipe calls for so many eggs like the chocolate pumpkin bread?
This looks delicious!! I am also allergic to eggs. Can you share our thoughts on a proper substitute? Thank you for all of your wonderful recipes.
Hi terry! This one needs the eggs! Sorry.
Looks amazing! What can I substitute for cinnamon and chocolate…darn allergies!
Possibly the most GORGEOUS paleo pumpkin bread I have EVAH seen…the HEIGHT….the TEXTURE!….the incredible “swirl” thing goin’ on….This WILL be brunch!….Thank you for Fall fabulousness….
This is the first recipe of yours that I’ve tried and it turned out perfectly!! Hands down the best gluten free bread I have tried. I used evoo for the oil, almond milk instead of cow’s milk and cane sugar instead of palm. Also good call on the parchment paper – no sticky mess!
Thanks for the recipe!! Can’t wait to make it again for friends this weekend!
Thank you! This recipe is AMAZEBALLS! Between 4 people we ate the entire loaf within two hours. The texture moist with just the right crumble & it has a coffee cake-like flavor. To date, this is the best paleo bread recipe I’ve made. I love that it uses coconut flour & tapioca starch instead of calling for a nut/seed butter. It makes it much more affordable to make. The only substitutions I made were swapping out lemon juice for apple cider vinegar (since I didn’t have any lemons) & I added 1tsp of pumpkin pie spice.
what can be used in place of the tapioca starch or arrowroot? Having trouble finding it. Can regular corn starch be used?
Yeah! I think cornstarch should work!
