Recipe for Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread – I cannot say enough about this Recipe for Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread. The bread will literally melt in your mouth. Plus, it tastes like cake, without the funky, not-so-healthy, ingredients!
How to Make a Perfect Recipe for Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread
This Recipe for Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread is a modified from a Rachl Mansfield recipe. But, over time I’ve made this recipe my own and to be honest, I think it is better too. A chunk of this Pumpkin Bread is perfect for breakfast, dessert, or a late-night snack. Plus, this recipe is gluten-free, dairy-free and has no added sugars or refined sugars.
Yes, More Pumpkin!
I know, I know. More pumpkin. But honestly, I can’t get enough! Any pumpkin recipe and I am there. What I love about this particular recipe is that it can be completely tweaked to your liking. If you don’t care for the protein powder, swap it out for flaxseed meal. If you don’t want to use chocolate chunks, leave them out. Although, you are seriously missing out.
Plus, the ingredients pack a serious nutrient punch without losing that “treat” feel. After cooling, keep the bread in the refrigerator for up to 4-6 days. The best way to enjoy this decadence is with a fork, after about 45 seconds in the microwave.
Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread
Ingredients
- ¼ cup liquid coconut oil

- 1 tsp baking powder
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 scoop plant-based protein powder *I like the Olly Vanilla Plant-Based powder – recommended to me by a nutrition for not having all the nasty, fake junk that other protein powders are chock-full of!
