🥣 How to Make Vegan Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread
Start by mixing all of the flours and spices in a large bowl. We went with a combination of oat flour, almond flour, and rice flour. It’s the mix of all of these flours that gives the cake a soft and moist texture.
Then, for the spices, we have ground cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg. You can substitute those spices for 2 teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice.
To sweeten, we use coconut sugar, which also brings a delicate caramel flavor that pairs so well with the pumpkin!
Finally, stir in chopped candied ginger and chocolate chips, pour into a loaf pan, and bake for about 40 minutes or until the top is golden brown.
💬 FAQ
While we haven’t tried it yet, we think this recipe will work if you substitute all-purpose flour for the oat and rice flour. You should keep the almond flour that gives the bread a richer and moister texture.
Definitely! If you want to save time, buy candied ginger and cut it into very small cubes.
It will keep and stay soft for up to 3 days at room temperature.
I hope you will love this candied ginger pumpkin bread recipe! It’s so moist, chocolatey, and infused with ginger for a spicy flavor! The perfect snack for a chilly day!
