‘Tis the season for Pumpkin Bread! What’s better than the traditional recipe? A gluten free Pumpkin Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Bread, chock full of pumpkin, oats and dark chocolate, and baked to perfection.
I cannot get enough pumpkin this season.
As in, I’m making EVERYTHING with it. Including baby food. (Yeah, I’m totally that person. In my defense, it’s really easy to blend up some canned pumpkin puree with a little milk or water, freeze it into 1 oz. cubes, then heat it up whenever it’s time to give the baby solid foods.)
Pumpkin is good in so many combinations and delicious for so many things.
But my favorite recipes for pumpkin are breakfast recipes.
Pumpkin Bread is one of my favorites.
And this Gluten Free Pumpkin Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Bread, which is all kinds of delightful, is jumping to the top of my list this season.
I’ve already made it several times… and it’s got a surprising ingredient.
I don’t do a ton of gluten free baking, so I don’t have several gluten free flours in my pantry. I do, however, have a ton of almond butter and peanut butter. (It’s kind of one of our staples.)
This recipe? It calls for almond butter, and that makes the bread so nutty and delicious!
Add in the pumpkin, maple syrup, oats and chocolate, and you’re basically set!
Here’s how I made it:
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond butter
- 2/3 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 2 eggs
- 2/3 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a bread pan with baking spray, and set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream the almond butter, pumpkin puree and maple syrup together using a hand mixer.
- Once smooth, crack in the eggs and mix until combined.
- Measure in the rolled oats, cinnamon, baking soda and salt. Stir into the batter.
- Measure in the dark chocolate chips, and fold into the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared bread pan.
- Bake for 1 hour or until the bread has risen, browned and an inserted knife comes out clean.
- Cool, then free from the pan and enjoy!
Are you a big pumpkin fan, too?
