The BEST EVER Vegan Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread
Just LOOK at that center!!!
Something that always bothers me about baking with pumpkin is that most recipes only require half of the can, sometimes even less. And unless you’re like me and have a borderline unhealthy pumpkin baking obsession, that leftover pumpkin probably goes to waste. So, I decided to fix that problem and create a recipe that actually uses the entire can. And thus, this beautiful loaf was born.
I can’t believe that it took me this long to try out a vegan pumpkin bread, but this one is well worth the wait. It’s so simple to make, only uses a handful of ingredients that you may already have on hand, and only requires one bowl. Aside from being vegan, it’s also gluten free, sugar free, and allergen friendly - but you’d never guess because it’s that good.
I used monkfruit to keep it entirely sugar free, but any brown and white granulated sugars will work, or just use all coconut sugar to keep it low glycemic. And the same goes with chocolate, I used 100% dark chocolate chips but anything goes, so go crazy! I’m also assuming that any regular flour can be used in place of the gluten free, but make sure that it’s a 1:1 substitute (so almond flour will not measure the same).
But no matter what ingredients you use, I know that this will be a new fan favorite. Not only because it’s so easy, but also because it’s seriously so delicious.
Try it out!
