Pumpkin Chocolate Chunk Bread

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

1-bowl pumpkin chocolate chip bread that’s vegan, gluten-free, and naturally sweetened with maple syrup. Perfect for fall breakfasts, snacks, and dessert.

Pumpkin Chocolate Chunk Bread

Last night I had the weirdest dream.

I decided that I was going to drop everything and pursue my dreams…of becoming an actress.

Except that in real life even the thought of playing charades is enough to dissuade me from attending a party.

In front of an audience (or a camera) I become a self conscious shell of myself that probably wouldn’t be able to tell you her name if you asked.

I am NOT an actress.

So believe when I tell you, I’m not acting like you need this Pumpkin Chocolate Chunk Bread in your life.

It’s the TRUTH.

Pumpkin Chocolate Chunk Bread

It was the strangest dream, guys, with my old best friend, Alex, from high school, starring as my acting manager.

I’m not sure how my acting career imploded in dreamland, but I can only assume that I woke up to realize my true passion…

It’s in making pumpkin everything.

Not to toot my own horn but I think I’m kind of good at it.

You’re going to love the mix of pumpkin and chocolate in this good for you bread that’s healthy for breakfast, portable for a snack, and decadent for dessert.

Pumpkin Chocolate Chunk Bread

No trick or treat here, friends….just treat!

This Pumpkin Chocolate Chunk Bread requires only 1-bowl and less than ten ingredients that you probably already have on hand for fall, like canned pumpkin, pumpkin spice, oats, nut butter, and chocolate.

The basics.

Pumpkin Chocolate Chunk Bread

I’ve been wanting to make a pumpkin bread recipe for the blog for a while now, but I wanted to make sure it met my criteria of being completely oil, gluten, and refined sugar free.

Pumpkin lends itself to oil free baking because it adds smooth moisture to the batter with just its pure orange self.

A bit of nut butter doesn’t hurt to smooth things out too and add a bit of healthy fats.

I used sunflower seed butter in this recipe, but any nut or seed butter will work!

For a more neutral flavor, try cashew or almond butter.

If you want a more pronounced pumpkin chocolate peanut butter flavoring (um, yum!), go with peanut butter.

Sturdy GF oats to binds everything together to create a bread that’s solid, moist, and fluffy.

Pumpkin Chocolate Chunk Bread

The recipe is lightly sweetened with pure maple syrup.

I also tested a version with unrefined coconut sugar which was successful, but a little less moist and tender.

The recipe is lighter on the sweetener because I added in Hu Chocolate to finish things off sweetly.

I crumbled up two Hu Kitchen Hazelnut Butter Dark Chocolate bars to be encased in pumpkin spice forever and ever.

One goes into the interior batter, and one to create the chocolate chunk topping.

This chocolate really makes the pumpkin flavor in this recipe pop!

These bars are perfect in this recipe because they’re dairy free, refined sugar free, and clean without any additives or junk.

This Pumpkin Chocolate Chunk Bread is perfect for easy fall baking!

Make a loaf over the weekend and enjoy the smells of pumpkin, chocolate, and pumpkin pie spice filling your kitchen.

It’s perfect with a warm beverage of choice as a healthy treat.

If you want a chocolate free version, try subbing the chocolate for walnuts, pecans, raisins, or cranberries, or simply omit all together for a simple pumpkin bread recipe that’s sure to impress.

Enjoy!

Description

1-bowl pumpkin chocolate chip bread that’s dairy free, gluten free, oil free, and naturally sweetened with maple syrup. Perfect for fall breakfasts, snacks, and dessert.


Ingredients

  • 2 flax eggs (2 TBSP ground flaxseed + 5 TBSP filtered water)
  • 2 ¼ cup gluten-free oat flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 15 oz. can pumpkin purée
  • generous 1/2 cup cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup nut or seed butter
  • 1 TBSP lemon juice
  • 2Hu Kitchen Hazelnut Dark Chocolate Bars, chopped (~4 oz. dark chocolate)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a bread pan with parchment paper or lightly grease with oil In a small bowl, combine the ground flaxseed and filtered water to form your “flax egg.” Stir and set aside for 5 minutes to gel.
  2. Add the oat flour, pumpkin pie spice, and baking powder to a bowl and toss with a fork to combine.
  3. Add dry ingredients to the “flax egg” bowl, then add in the pumpkin, maple syrup, nut butter, and lemon juice. Stir until well combined and thick, with no visible flour.
  4. Gently fold in one of the chopped chocolate bars.
  5. Spread the batter into a bread pan and even out with a spatula. Add the second chopped chocolate bar on top.
  6. Bake bread for 45-55 minutes, until the top is firm to the touch and the edges start to pull away from the pan. Careful not to over-bake or the bread or it will lose its moisture!
  7. Remove from the oven and transfer to a cooling rack. Allow to cool completely before slicing.
  8. Store leftover pumpkin chocolate chunk bread in the fridge for up to one week and freeze for long term storage.

    Delicious.. love the Hu chocolate. Now I just need to sub out the maple syrup for Date syrup. Then I’m going to substitute pecans or hazelnut for 1/2 the chocolate. Love to try variations on a good recipe. PS don’t use Trader Joe’s organic Pumpkin because it’s loo runny. Keep on cooking Lauren ❤️

I started teaching yoga again this spring. In the I started teaching yoga again this spring. In the midst of cookbook edits and stunning spring weather, I felt called to unfurl my Manduka mat and talk my friends and family through a feel-good flow.
-
At first, I felt rusty; stumbling through cues and postures. What’s that pose, again? What’s that body part? I forgot options; I forgot pacing, I forgot to balance active poses with rejuvenating rest.
-
But I’m starting to get it back. The confidence that comes with repetition. The joy that comes from seeing a student let go, watching tangible tension melt away; I’m an audience to mindfulness.
-
I wanted to become a yoga teacher because it felt like the single greatest gift I could give to another human being. Maybe that’s because it’s one of the greatest gift that I give to myself.
-
As I get back into teaching, I’m reminded that crafting yoga classes is a beautiful, delicate artform. One that I’m excited and eager to get better at.
-
I teach vinyasa yoga—A creative flow. I’m currently working on theming my classes—conveying a subtle suggested message through movement, music, and words.
-
Last Friday I taught my book club and I spent hours working on the soundtrack and the sequence. I shifted around openings and contractions, counted things in threes, and shuffled songs in a clear crescendo towards peak posture, softening into savasana.
-
It reminded me of the English classes I took in high school. We tirelessly underlined paperback books, searching for themes, motifs, and expressive language with a pink highlighter and red ballpoint pen.
-
Writing a yoga sequence is kind of like that, but in reverse. This time I’m the author, the creator, the conductor, sprinkling in symbols and allusion and foreshadowing to guide towards the truest version of you.
-
I strive to talk through the poses with expressive language and concise cues. Watching for reactions, feeling what the collective is feeling, working with them to achieve a union of mind, body, and spirit.
-
That’s yoga.
-
What makes a *good* yoga class for you? Please comment and share! I’m hoping to open up classes to my community eventually. 😘

ALMOND BUTTER TAGALONGS. 🍫I had a discussion hi ALMOND BUTTER TAGALONGS. 🍫I had a discussion hiking this weekend about Girl Scouts, which led us to think about Girl Scout cookies. These are vegan and gluten-free “Tagalong” cookies with an almond  butter twist! They’re easily made with almond flour, almond butter, maple syrup, and dark chocolate. The recipe is very easy to make with simple whole foods ingredients that you probably already have on hand! The only “trick” to the recipe is to freeze each layer well before continuing to the next step! 😃 Grab the full recipe via the the link in my profile to make yours!!!
