Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a mini loaf pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, instant coffee, pumpkin spice, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, pumpkin puree, and applesauce until smooth.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Pour the batter into the prepared mini loaf pan and bake for 20-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing and slicing.
