Servings 11 slices
Ingredients
Dry ingredients:
- 1 cup (140 g) gluten-free all-purpose flour (see notes)
- 3/4 cup (84 g) almond flour (see notes)
- 2/3 cup (100 g) coconut sugar (or sugar of choice)
- 1/2 heaped cup (50 g) cocoa powder
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp ground coffee (optional)
- 1 pinch of salt
- 1/2 cup (90 g) dairy-free chocolate chips + more for the top
Wet ingredients:
- 1 cup (240 g) pumpkin puree (see notes)
- 2/3 cup (160 ml) dairy-free milk (see notes)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Check the video in the post for easy visual instructions.Preheat the oven to 360 degrees F (180 degrees C) and line an 8x4 inch (20x10 cm) loaf pan with parchment paper.
- Add all dry ingredients (except the chocolate chips) to a large bowl and stir with a spoon.
- Add the wet ingredients and whisk to combine. Also stir in the chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter into the pan and top with more chocolate chips.
- Bake the bread in the oven for about 40 minutes. Check the center with a toothpick- if it comes out dry or slightly sticky/crumbly, that's fine, just not wet.
- Let the bread cool, slice it, and enjoy!
Notes
- GF flour: You can use a store-bought blend like Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free All Purpose Baking Flour. If you aren't gluten-free, you can most likely use the same amount of regular all-purpose flour or spelt flour.
- Almond flour: Any finely ground nuts (e.g. ground hazelnuts) or seeds (e.g. ground sunflower seeds) can be used instead of almond flour.
- Pumpkin puree: You can use the same amount of mashed banana or sweet potato instead of pumpkin puree.
- Dairy-free milk: Any unsweetened dairy-free milk will work, however, one with a higher fat content (e.g. canned coconut milk) will result in a moister chocolate cake. Alternatively, you can add 3 Tbsp of oil.
