Ingredients

  

• 2 cups flour all-purpose or sub with spelt, GF, or any other flour you like to use
• ½-3/4 cup sweetener this recipe used organic cane sugar, but you can substitute with coconut, brown, or maple syrup - start with 1/2 cup & taste to adjust to your liking
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice or 1 1/2 tsp each cinnamon & nutmeg and ½ tsp each ginger & allspice and a pinch of clove
• pinch of salt
• 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
• ⅓ cup plant milk at room temp or can sub water (but reduces overall flavour)
• ⅓ cup neutral flavored oil canola, vegetable, or sunflower or sub with applesauce for an oil free version
• 1 can 15 oz pumpkin puree or 1 ½ cups fresh pumpkin puree
• 1 1/2 cups vegan chocolate chips save 1/4-1/2 cup for the top - I recommend a high quality brand that’s fair trade
• optional: add 1-2 tsp ground flax seeds to the dried ingredients for added nutrition!

Instructions

 

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
• Lightly grease loaf pan or line with parchment paper
• In a medium size bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, spices and salt
• In a small bowl, add oil, sugar, milk and vanilla. Whisk to combine
• Add the wet mixture to the dry mixture along with the pumpkin puree and mix well (however do not over mix, just make sure the flour is incorporated)
• Taste batter, adjusting flavor or sweetness to your liking
• Add 1 cup of chocolate chips & mix lightly to incorporate
• Pour batter into prepared loaf pan, sprinkle with remaining chocolate chips, place in oven on a centre rack and bake for 60-70 minutes, checking at the 45 minute mark & bake further in 10 minute increments until done
• Once done, remove from oven and let cool 30-45 minutes
• Cut into slices and serve!

Notes

It is delicious served warm with some vegan butter, or you can smear on some vegan nutella for a chocolate overload!

If you do not wish to add chocolate chips, you can omit & replace with raisins, dried cranberries, walnuts, pecans, currents, or another dried fruit of choice.
Makes 6-8 slices

Wrap in plastic wrap, aluminum foil, or put in a container to keep fresh.  Should last 2 – 3 days. Warm in a microwave or toaster oven.
