Description
This easy one-bowl chocolate chip pumpkin bread is incredibly moist, wonderfully spiced, with lots of pumpkin flavor, and studded with mini chocolate chips. No mixer required and vegan-friendly, it’s a perfect, homemade fall treat!
Ingredients
- 1–1/4 cup (305g) pumpkin puree ¹
- 2 tsp (10g) pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup (120g) olive oil
- 1/3 cup (66g) granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup (71g) light brown sugar, packed
- 1/3 cup (75g) unsweetened almond milk ² (or other milk of choice)
- 1 Tbsp (9g) ground flaxseed ³
- 1–1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 1/2 tsp ground cloves
- 1/2 tsp Kosher salt
- 1–1/2 tsp (9g) baking soda
- 1–3/4 cups (210g) all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
- 1/3 cup (60g) mini semi-sweet chocolate chips,⁴ divided
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350℉. Prepare a 4-inch-by-8-1/2-inch loaf pan; grease the bottom and sides with butter and dust lightly with flour. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin, vanilla, and olive oil until smooth and completely combined. Whisk in the sugar and milk.
- Switching to a spatula, stir in the flaxseed, spices, salt, and baking soda, then gently fold in the flour and two-thirds of the chocolate chips, until just combined, and no streaks of flour remain.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle with the remaining chocolate chips. Bake for 45-55 minutes, until the top is deeply golden, gently domed, and a cake-tester inserted into the center comes out mostly clean.
- Remove from the oven and let cool in the loaf pan for 20-30 minutes, before removing and cooling completely on a baking rack. Be sure to wait until the bread has completely cooled before slicing. Enjoy!!
Notes
¹ Be sure to use pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie mix.
² I use Malk unsweetened almond milk for baking because it doesn’t include any gums or stabilizers. You can also substitute dairy milk.
³ For a non-plant-based pumpkin bread, you can substitute one egg white for the ground flaxseed.
⁴ Use any chocolate chips – milk chocolate, semisweet, white chocolate, etc. – that you like. Mini chips are my favorite and tend to disperse more evenly throughout the loaf.
