So we’ve already got:
pumpkin bread ✔️
pumpkin muffins (x’s 2) ✔️
pumpkin cookies ✔️
pumpkin cheesecake ✔️
pumpkin roll ✔️
pumpkin juice ✔️
…and then some. And in all of this tasty, pumpkin happenings there has been a severe lack of chocolate. So today – we remedy that with this Double Chocolate (to make up for lost time) Paleo Pumpkin Bread.
Let’s get to it!
How to Make: Double Chocolate Paleo Pumpkin Bread
Despite the somewhat lengthy ingredient list this recipe is actually really simple! It’s made all in one bowl using typical paleo pantry staples and bakes up in about an hour.
If you wanted to cut down on ingredients to make this even more straight forward you can always ditch the individual spices and just use 2 teaspoons of your favourite pumpkin spice blend.
I always like making pumpkin breads like this in the evening to enjoy the next day so that the flavour has time to intensify over night. A slice of this and a cup of coffee is not a bad way to start your day, my friends.
Bottom line, this cake is rich, moist, easy and suuuuuper chocolatey.
And I mean…if pumpkin is a fruit and dark chocolate is full of antioxidants that means that this paleo pumpkin bread is healthy right? Let’s just say yes and call it a day! At the very least it’s god for the soul and I’m all about that.

So glad you liked it! Thanks Kristi!
Erica says
Can you substitute something else for coconut oil? Maybe butter and if so, how much? Thanks!
Sarah says
Hi Erica! Butter might work but I haven’t actually tried it myself so I can’t say for sure. I have had reader use butter in other recipes that are very similar to this and it sounds like it does work but it can end up feeling a little more greasy than it’s supposed to
