Chocolate Chip Loaf

The Fluffiest Loaf Filled with Chocolate

There’s not much more I love than chocolate. This loaf is like a chocolate chip cookie but in bread form and it’s so delicious. Any chocolate lovers you must try.

To make it even extra chocolatey I added chocolate frosting to mine. This is optional but it really takes it to the next level. 

The texture is by far the best part about this. Its ultra-fluffy. The chocolate chips just melt in your mouth. This is seriously one of my favorite recipes ever.

You can also add in other things besides chocolate chips. Oreos, sprinkles, fruits, nuts, literally anything would taste delicious in this recipe.

Since this is a vegan recipe, I use flax eggs instead of traditional eggs.

How to make a flax egg:

For one egg the ratio is 1 tablespoon of flax seed meal to 3 tablespoons of water. For two, just double that. All you have to do is combine the ingredients, give it a quick mix, and allow it to set. After 5-10 minutes it will have formed into an egg-like texture.

I always get countless questions about the frosting I use. Typically, I go the lazy way and don’t make frosting homemade. Almost all store’s bought frostings are vegan. Just make sure to always check the label.

If you want a homemade frosting, there are tons of vegan frosting options online!

I have created a list of possible substitutions below. If I didn’t add it for a specific ingredient, it’s because I don’t recommend substituting it. 

Substitutions:

Maple syrup- any liquid sweetener such as agave or date syrup.

Coconut sugar- any granulated sugar: white, brown, monk fruit.

Almond butter- any nut or seed butter (peanut, sunflower, cashew).

Almond milk- any non-dairy milk will work (soy, oat, cashew).

Flax eggs- a chia egg will work or any type of vegan egg replacer
