Ingredients You’ll Need
- 1 ¾ cup (220g) all-purpose flour (or a gluten-free flour blend for GF Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread)
- 1 cup (240g) canned pumpkin puree
- ½ cup (100g) brown sugar
- ¼ cup (60ml) maple syrup
- ¼ cup (60ml) coconut oil (melted)
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp nutmeg
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup (90g) vegan chocolate chips
Instructions to Make Your Tasty Vegan Pumpkin Bread
1. Preheat and Prepare
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan with a little coconut oil or line it with parchment paper to ensure your vegan pumpkin bread doesn’t stick.
2. Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour (or gluten-free flour), baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. These spices are what give the bread that signature pumpkin baking flavor we all love.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, mix the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract. This wet mixture will add moisture and a naturally sweet flavor to the bread.
4. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures
Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter – you want the bread to stay light and fluffy.
5. Fold in the Chocolate Chips
Gently fold the vegan chocolate chips into the batter. These pockets of chocolate add a rich, gooey texture to each bite, making the bread extra tasty.
6. Pour Into the Loaf Pan
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.
7. Bake to Perfection
Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The top should be golden brown, with a beautiful rise. Your kitchen will smell like a dream!
8. Cool and Enjoy!
Once baked, let the Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice it up and serve as a snack, breakfast, or dessert.
