Gluten Free Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread
I’m breaking all the rules with this one, kids. I love pumpkin, just not in September. I’ve always, always, always been an a “apples in September, pumpkin in October” kind of person.
This year, I threw that all out the window. I caved to a pumpkin spice latte one morning when we were out. It was a moment of weakness fueled by the fact that it was almost noon and I hadn’t had any coffee yet.
So before things got ugly, PSL it was. You guys, I got a fever and the only prescription is more cowbell. And by cowbell, I most definitely mean pumpkin. I’ve pretty much had all the pumpkin since that one little PSL. Like pumpkin something every day since then. Hey, go big or go home right? When I break the rules, I really break them.
I’m a rebel, baby.
I’ve been noshing on pumpkin muffins and this pumpkin chocolate chip bread for breakfast every day. All in the name of recipe testing. Life is grand. Or should I say, life is grande. << — see what I did there? That’s a Starbucks joke. Haha funny. Enjoy!

Just in case others need to substitute some items, here’s what worked for me: I subbed 1/4 cup of butter + a dollop of coconut oil for the palm shortening, and I used almond milk in place of coconut since it’s what I had on hand. I think my loaf pan was an inch smaller too, so mine rose pretty high. I baked it just over an hour and everything came out perfectly. This is probably the best gf dessert bread I’ve tried yet. Very good texture, and not soggy!!
Can I use pressed coconut oil or avocado oil instead of Palm shortening?
Hi! I made this today and followed the recipe exactly. It is beautiful and tastes great but it is SUPER dry. Even with cream cheese on it it was still dry. I used Trader Joe’s GF all-purpose flour. Any suggestions as to how to make it moist?
Thank you!

Hi Lynn, that’s really strange! I’ve never had an issue with this bread being dry. I’ve also never used Trader Joe’s flour. But if it’s dry, it sounds like you may have over measured your flour or left out some of the wet ingredients.
Can you use regular sugar instead of the coconut palm sugar?
Yes you can!
I did the same thing this year! I usually avoid pumpkin but I couldn’t wait! This looks fantastic. I want a piece!
You’r so right, what’s not to love with this pumpkin choco bread? It doesn’t matter what time of year, this bread is always welcoming. Luv all the chocolate chips! 😉
You had me at chocolate chips and pumpkins. This is the type of bread I can’t stop picking off of.
