Can I use fresh pumpkin to make this recipe?
Yes you can. We have tried making homemade purée and our opinion is that it just isn’t worth the effort. This may be one of the only times we will recommend using a canned product over fresh. However if you would like to try making your own, here are some resources to do so.
How to make chocolate chip pumpkin loaf
This simple baking recipe requires a bit of oven time, but the result is well worth the wait. To get started, gather all of your ingredients. Next, combine the dry ingredients in a medium bowl. In a separate large bowl, cream the butter until smooth. Add the sugar and beat for a few minutes until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, incorporating each fully before adding the next.
Gradually add the dry ingredients, alternating with the pumpkin puree, and mix until just combined. Have a picky eater who wont eat nuts, or someone with a nut allergy? Just delete the walnuts. We use to do this as we had a picky eater early on and the loaf is still great. Finally, stir in the chocolate chips.
Pour the batter into two greased loaf pans and bake at 350°F for 55 minutes. Insert a toothpick into the center of each loaf to check for doneness. If the toothpick comes out with moist crumbs, continue baking for 5-10 minutes more. Once done, remove the loaves from the oven and let them cool in the pans for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Can I make these as muffins?
Yes you can. Simply place batter into a muffin tray and reduce cook time. The decadence of the loaf precludes us from preparing this recipe as a muffin.
Kitchen equipment necessary to make this recipe
You will need measuring cups, mixing bowls, a mixer, loaf pans and an appetite as this is a filling and decadent recipe.
