Method
 

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
  2. Step 2: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. This will be your dry mix.
  3. Step 3: In a large bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vegetable oil. Mix until everything is well blended.
  4. Step 4: Add the pumpkin puree, eggs, and vanilla extract to the sugar mixture. Stir until smooth and creamy.
  5. Step 5: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
  6. Step 6: Divide the batter into two equal portions. Stir the melted chocolate into one portion until it’s well incorporated.
  7. Step 7: Alternately spoon the pumpkin batter and the chocolate batter into the prepared loaf pan. Use a knife to gently swirl them together for that beautiful marble effect.
  8. Step 8: Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The smell will be irresistible!
  9. Step 9: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
