Directions
Carob Pumpkin Bread
Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease and line a loaf pan with parchment.
Cream wet ingredients until smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk dry ingredients
Gently combine dry into wet. Stir just until mixed—don ’t overmix.
For the swirl: In a small bowl, mix swirl ingredients until smooth.
Pour ¾ of batter into the loaf pan. Swirl in the chocolate mixture, then top with remaining batter. Swirl again lightly with a knife or toothpick if you like a marbled effect.
Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean from the center
Let cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely before slicing (important for texture).
Pro Tips:
Don ’t underbake!
Letting it cool fully helps it set and develop the best crumb.
Stores at room temp for 2–3 days or fridge for up to 5 days
