Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread (Vegan & Gluten Free)
So now it's Autumn there are literally hundreds of pumpkin recipes popping up all over social media - and I'm jumping on the bandwagon! This vegan and gluten free Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Loaf is deliciously gooey, sweet and autumnal.
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1.5 Cups Oat Flour simply grind oats in your blender to make flour - use gluten free if needed
- 1/2 Cup Ground Almonds
- 1 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
- 1.5 tsp Ground Cinnamon
- Ground Nutmeg / Cloves / Ginger optional
- 1 Pinch Salt
- 1/2 Cup Vegan Chocolate Chips (save a few for topping)
Wet Ingredients
- 1 Flax Egg 1 tbsp flaxseed mixed with 2.5 tbsp water and left for 5-10 mins to form a gel
- 1 Cup Pumpkin Puree (I use a tin)
- 1/4 Cup Coconut Oil
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1/2 Cup Maple Syrup
- 1/2 Cup Dairy Free Milk
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 185c
- Line a loaf tin with baking paper and grease with coconut oil or vegan margarine
- Melt your coconut oil in a saucepan over a medium heat until runny
- In the meantime place all the dry ingredients (apart from the chocolate chips) in a large mixing bowl and stir well so that there are no lumps
- When the coconut oil has melted add all the other wet ingredients into your pan and whisk until well combined
- Pour this into the dry bowl and stir together until a thick batter forms and all ingredients are evenly distributed
- Then stir in the chocolate chips
- Spoon the batter into your loaf tin and even out with a spatula
- Sprinkle a few more of the chocolate chips on top
- Place in your preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a fork comes out clean with no wet batter
- Leave it to cool for 15 minutes or so before removing for the tin
Notes
Quick note - for the pictures I used bigger quantities than the recipe below - so don't expect it to come out looking as big as it does on the images!
It will just be slightly smaller. I decided these amounts are better because otherwise it's just too big to get through (no matter how tasty!)
