Chocolate-Chip Pumpkin Bread from The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Plant-Based Nutrition #glutenfree
This year I went a little nuts and bought a bunch of canned pumpkin purée – and then never made pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving! (Though I did make Eggless Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Cookies for my daughter, Lucie.) If you’re like me and have a few cans of pumpkin lying around you can make Healthy Slow Cooker Pumpkin and Bean Chili or this vegetarian recipe for Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread!

This spicy, fudgy bread is a mix between a pudding and a cake. It’s a great dessert to bring to holiday parties, to give as a homemade holiday gift, or to serve on Meatless Monday! You can cook it up as a loaf or turn the batter into muffins by adjusting the time accordingly.
You can assure that this recipe is gluten free by using only GF certified oat flour and gluten free baking powder.
