    This Nutella Swirled Pumpkin Bread is an easy fall-quick bread that pairs pumpkin puree's rich moisture with generous ribbons of Nutella. The Swirl of hazelnut-chocolate spread adds indulgence without overcomplicating things-just bake, slice, and enjoy. Ideal for snack time, brunch, or a cozy afternoon treat.

    While the fall season may be a very busy season, it is also a baking season. You can't beat warm spices, apples, pumpkins and nuts in baked goods. Growing up the thought of pumpkin and chocolate was weird to me, now I realize I was the weird one! Chocolate goes beautifully with pumpkin desserts and then you add Nutella and it just takes it up a notch! Next, check out my recipe for mini pumpkin Nutella muffins.

    The Ingredient Line-Up You'll Love

    • Pumpkin Puree & Oil/Yogurt: Give the bread its moist, tender crumb and rich fall flavor.
    • Granulated & Brown Sugar + Pumpkin Pie Spice: Sweeten and add warm spice notes that complement the Nutella swirl. 
    • Nutella Swirls: Added in two layers of batter ensures visible ribbons and bursts of hazelnut-chocolate throughout.
    • Sifted Dry Ingredients (Flour, Baking Soda, Baking Powder, Salt): Ensures even mixing and light rise without over-development of gluten

    Pour, Swirl Nutella, Bake to Golden
