A tender, moist pumpkin bread made with sourdough discard and chocolate chips, perfect for cozy fall breakfasts or snacks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 g) sourdough discard (unfed or fed)
  • 2 cups (240 g) all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup (150 g) granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup (50 g) brown sugar
  • 1 cup (240 g) pumpkin puree (canned or homemade, unsweetened)
  • 1/3 cup (80 ml) vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tsp (4 g) baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp (2 g) baking soda
  • 1 tsp (2 g) ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp (0.5 g) ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp (3 g) salt
  • 1 tsp (5 ml) vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (175 g) chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In another bowl, beat the eggs with sourdough discard and pumpkin puree until smooth. Add vegetable oil, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently with a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  5. Fold in the chocolate chips gently.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top lightly.
  7. Bake for 55-65 minutes, starting to check at 55 minutes with a toothpick. It should come out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter.
  8. Cool the bread in the pan for about 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Slice and serve. Store wrapped tightly or in an airtight container.

Notes

Measure sourdough discard by weight for consistency. Use room temperature eggs and discard for smoother batter. Avoid overmixing to keep bread tender. Toss chocolate chips in flour if worried about sinking. Cool bread in pan before removing to prevent breaking. Milk can be added to loosen thick batter if needed.
