Ingredients
- 200 g plain flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 tablespoon ground ginger
- 1 pinch sea salt
- 2 eggs medium; room temperature
- 250 g Truvia brown sugar
- 320 g pumpkin puree canned
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 110 ml coconut oil melted
- 60 ml semi-skimmed milk
- 60 g dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180°C/160°C(fan)/350°F/Gas 4. Grease and line a 900g/2lb loaf tin.
- Sieve 200 g Plain flour, 1 teaspoon Baking soda, 1 tablespoon Ground cinnamon, 0.25 tablespoon Ground ginger and 1 pinch Sea salt into a large mixing bowl. Mix it all together.
- In a separate mixing bowl, add 2 Eggs and 250 g Truvia brown sugar. Whisk together until pale and fluffy.
- To the egg/sugar mixture add 320 g Pumpkin puree, 110 ml Coconut oil, 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract and 60 ml Semi-skimmed milk. Fold everything together.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and fold together.
- Add 60 g Dark chocolate chips. and fold them in.
- Pour the batter into the lined loaf tin and top with the remaining chocolate chips. Put into the oven for 60 minutes.
- After 40 minutes, cover loosely with foil and move to the bottom of the oven. When cooked, insert a knife or skewer into the loaf and it should come out clean. It may need 10 minutes extra.
Notes
- Make sure you cool the bread before slicing, otherwise it will just fall apart. When the bread is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the tin for 10-15 minutes. Then, transfer the bread to a wire rack and let it cool completely before slicing and serving.
- Make sure you don't over-mix the batter. Over-mixing can lead to a tough and dense bread. It is best to mix the ingredients until just combined.
- Make sure you don't over-bake the bread. Over-baking can result in a dry and crumbly texture. Test the bread with a toothpick inserted in the centre. If it comes out clean, the bread is done.
- To make this recipe lower in fat, you can swap the coconut oil for apple sauce. It will change the texture though.
- Remember that every oven cooks things differently, and the type of loaf tin you use can change the cooking time too. So check the bread after the cooking time and you can always put it in for 10 minutes more if it needs it.
