HOW TO MAKE CHOCOLATE PUMPKIN BREAD
- How long does it take? 20 minutes of hands on time!
- How long will the loaf stay good for? I recommend enjoying this loaf within 3-4 days if stored at room temperature.
- Can I use Bob’s 1:1 Gluten Free Baking Flour? Substituting Bob’s Red Mill All Purpose Organic Flour for Bob’s Red Mill 1:1 Gluten Free Baking Flour will absolutely work for a gluten free option.
My favorite part about this pumpkin banana bread is that it’s covered in chocolate!
The chocolate is super easy to make too. Simply melt chocolate chips and coconut oil together until smooth and then slather it over your cooled loaf.
