Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread // Paleo & Vegan

Pumpkin & Chocolate, what could be better? Well, we figured it out…You put them both in bread form and voila you have a winner!

My friend Natalie from Feasting on Fruit, my husband Daniel Peacocke and I got together to make a bread that would bring the non-pumpkin lovers to the light! I say this because my husband is one of those, and this is a recipe that he definitely approved of!

It’s moist, FULL of flavor, and so addicting you just might attempt to eat the whole pan yourself…This coming from the girl who ate half the pan without even realizing it!

This bread is a crowd-pleaser because we also made sure not to skimp on the chocolate! So basically you can put a candle in this bread and call it cake OR slice, top with nut butter and call it breakfast!

However, you choose to enjoy it let us know!

Ingredients

2 cups cassava flour

1/2 cup almond butter

2 tsp. baking powder

1 tbsp. pumpkin pie spice

1 cup pumpkin

3/4th cup coconut sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/4th tsp. salt

1/2 cup chocolate chips

Directions

Preheat your oven to 350F

Combine the wet ingredients and then add in the dry ingredients. Once combined add the chocolate chips.

Pour mixture into a greased 9x5 bread loaf pan and top with cinnamon sugar & chocolate chips!

Bake for 45-50 minutes

Let cool & enjoy!

Gluten Free Dairy Free Pumpkin Cookie Dough

I don’t know about you guys, but when it comes to cookies I was always more interested in the dough over than the finished product. Lately I have been making quite a few pumpkin recipes and figured that it was suiting to create a gluten free dairy free and CHICKPEA free pumpkin cookie dough recipe.

My good friend Natalie and I pulled together the idea over iced matcha lattes with you guys in mind!

We created this recipe for those who have sensitive stomachs or want to eat more of a whole food based diet. This is why we decided to use ingredients like coconut flour and sunflower butter and avoided any products containing gluten or dairy!

Now, thanks to my good friend Natalie and my husband Daniel here is a irresistibly good allergy friendly pumpkin cookie dough recipe!

·         2/3 cup Coconut flour

·         3/4th cup Pumpkin

·         1/4th cup Maple syrup

·         1/4th cup Nut/Seed butter

·         1 tsp. Vanilla extract

·         2 tsp. Pumpkin Pie spice

·         1/2 tsp. salt

·         1/4th cup Chocolate chips  

·         1/4th cup chopped Pecans

·         2-4tbsp non-dairy milk (as needed)  

Instruction

·         Mix all of the dry ingredients together.

·         Add in the wet ingredients and mix until combined.

·         Fold in the pecans and chocolate chips or any other of your favorite mix-ins!   

·         Scoop into a bowl and eat with a spoon or put it on top of a Pumpkin smoothie that you can find here !

Thank you again for stopping by and I hope you enjoy!
