    ingredients & substitutions

    Gluten-Free Flour

    Gluten-free flour can have a slightly different taste and texture than traditional all-purpose flour. Some gluten-free flours can be gritty or have a slightly nutty flavor. However, there are many different brands and types of gluten-free flour available, so it’s important to experiment to find one that you like.

    Gluten-free flour is a good option for people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. It is also a good option for people who are trying to reduce their gluten intake.

    If you don’t have gluten-free flour, you can substitute an oat flour in this mini vegan pumpkin chocolate chip bread recipe. However, keep in mind that the bread will a different texture. If you are not gluten free you can use any all purpose flour.

    Instant Coffee

    Instant coffee has a strong, bitter flavor. However, when used in baking, it adds a rich and complex flavor to the baked goods.

    Instant coffee is a good source of antioxidants. It is also a good source of caffeine, which can help to improve alertness and focus.

    If you don’t have instant coffee, you can substitute 1/4 cup of protein powder or 1/4 cup more of flour.

    Brown Sugar

    Brown sugar has a rich and molasses flavor. It is also slightly moist, which helps to keep baked goods moist.

    If you don’t have brown sugar, you can substitute white sugar or light brown sugar. If you are watching your sugar intake use a sugar free sweetener.

    Pumpkin Puree

    Pumpkin puree has a rich and sweet flavor. It is a good source of vitamins A and C, as well as fiber. It is also low in calories and fat.

    If you don’t have pumpkin puree, you can substitute mashed sweet potato or mashed banana. You can also use more applesauce.

    Applesauce

    Applesauce has a sweet and tart flavor. It is also very moist, which helps to keep baked goods moist. Applesauce is a good source of fiber and vitamins A and C. It is also low in calories and fat.

    I like to use a sugar free applesauce for this mini vegan pumpkin chocolate chip bread recipe. If you don’t have applesauce, you can substitute mashed banana, mashed pears or mashed sweet potato.

    expert tips & tricks

    • For a richer chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate chips.
    • For a fun twist on your mini vegan pumpkin chocolate chip bread, add other mix-ins to the batter, such as chopped nuts, dried fruit, or halloween candy pieces.
    • Be sure to not overmix the batter, as this can make the bread tough.
