Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and prepare your 9x5-inch loaf pan by lining it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, Greek yogurt, cooled melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  3. Sift the Dutch process cocoa powder into the wet ingredients and stir gently until fully incorporated.
  4. Slowly add the all-purpose flour and baking soda to the mixture. Stir until just combined.
  5. Gently fold in the chocolate chips until no dry flour is visible.
