Combining Bread and Chocolate

‘Tis the season to be . . . chocolaty! (And doesn’t chocolate make you jolly anyway?)

Talk about the best of both worlds. Is there anything better than hot doughy bread straight out of the oven? The only thing better might be a lush chocolate fudgy dessert. If only you could combine them into one amazing treat. Finding something that special always seems too good to be true.

Gluten-free Vegan Chocolate Bread

Is it possible to have a delicious, filling chocolate treat that will not weigh you down? Or a chocolate snack that is not overflowing with refined sugars? Can it also be gluten-free and completely plant-based?

Yes, yes and yes!

An Unusual and Amazing Chocolate Treat

Have you tried my Vegan Brazilian Cheese Bread? Imagine that same chewy, spongecake-like texture. But instead of vegan cheese, those little bites are rich and lush with chocolate.

These babies were being pulled off the cooling rack so fast I was afraid I wouldn’t have any left for pictures!

Hot out of the oven these guys are just sensational. They will be the hit of your party or holiday gathering. They are so easy to make, requiring only five minutes of prep and 15 minutes to bake. And talk about kid-friendly!

If you are saving them for another time, you can warm them in a toaster oven or micro.

To micro, I wrap them in a lightly damp paper towel and heat them for 10-15 seconds on high (that’s for two; more bread bites=more time). I would add about five seconds for each additional bread bite.

Chocolate Fudge Bread - Fudgy and Stretchy

Chocolate Fudge Bread! Soft and fluffy bread with a chewy chocolaty inside!

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon golden flaxseed meal
  • 1 cup tapioca flour (tapioca starch is the same)
  • 1/2 cup potato starch (different from potato flour)
  • 3 tablespoons coconut palm sugar
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt finely ground
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla
  • 2/3 cup plant-based milk (I use cashew for the mild creamy flavor, but nut-free milks are fine)
  • 1/4 cup oil (grapeseed, melted coconut or walnut)
  • 1/2 cup mini vegan chocolate chips

Instructions

  • 1) Make flax egg: In a small bowl mix together golden flaxseed meal and 3 tablespoons filtered water. Set aside.
  • 2) In food processor or blender place tapioca flour, potato starch, coconut palm sugar, cocoa powder, salt and baking powder. Pulse a couple times to blend. Add vanilla to nut milk and stir together. Then add to dry ingredients along with flax egg and oil. Blend well until smooth (about 30 seconds).
  • 3) Add in chocolate chips to batter and stir with a spoon or spatula.
  • 4) Pour or spoon batter into a greased mini muffin tin about one eighth from the top (It is important to bake these in a mini muffin tin as the cooking time would vary for a standard size). If any muffin receptacles remain empty, place one teaspoon of water in each empty muffin receptacle (see pic in post). Bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for about 15 to 17 minutes depending on oven. Bread should be firm on the outside but puffy, and a toothpick inserted should come out clean. (The shell of the bread will be very firm when first removed from oven but softens to a crisp after cooling for a minute or two, see picture in post.) Remove from oven and cool on rack for a couple of minutes and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container. These rolls will reheat nicely.

Notes

Reheating Instructions If you are saving them for another time, you can warm them in a toaster oven or micro. To micro, I wrap them in a lightly damp paper towel and heat them for 10-15 seconds on high (that's for two, more bread bites=more time). I would add about five seconds for each additional bread bite.

      Thanks! I have not tried this myself but perhaps you could substitute cornstarch for the potato starch. Let me know how it goes if you decide to give it a try! πŸ™‚

Are you already wondering what to do with your Tha Are you already wondering what to do with your Thanksgiving leftovers? πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ Check out my new video on YouTube (link in bio ☝️ ) where I share three creative ideas for scrumptious dishes you can make with your leftovers. All of this deliciousness is (of course) plant-based, gluten-free, and refined sugar-free!😍 Do you love Thanksgiving leftovers, or are you one-n-done❓❓
Pantry problems?? When was the last time you clean Pantry problems?? When was the last time you cleaned it out or gave it a re-org? Whether your pantry has a door or is a cabinet in your kitchen, it pays to give it some TLC once in a while. πŸ’• I find it plays a key role in preparing meals at home--making it realistic and doable, not dread-worthy. 😣 From freeing up space by tossing items that have exceeded their shelf life to arranging items based on frequecy of use, you'll reap the reward everytime you step into your kitchen!! πŸ’―

I grew up appreciating and loving my mother’s ha I grew up appreciating and loving my mother’s handcrafted fudge. One of the many things I always looked forward to in the holiday season was mom churning out large bowls of this fudge to gift. Naturally, someone had to taste every batch and assure it was gift-worthy! πŸ™‹β€β™€οΈπŸ˜

While this recipe is dramatically different in ingredients from traditional fudge, the taste is identical to moms. Identical. It requires only six ingredients, but you may be really surprised by one of them. Being a fudge purist, I ensured this exquisite yet simple dessert is nothing short of a pure, chocolate delight. I use coconut sugar instead of the "sugar coma" inducing refined sugars, and for that creamy goodness I use a ripe avocado. Yep! NO avocado flavor. Use a nice ripe avocado and this chocolate goodness is mouth-watering indulgent but healthier too!”

I created this recipe for Creamy Avocado Fudge years ago, and have gotten so many requests for it that I included it in my new Eat Well, Be Well cookbook! Link above. ☝️ πŸ₯‘πŸ«πŸ˜‹
I want to share a personal bit that I didn't inclu I want to share a personal bit that I didn't include when writing the Introduction to Eat Well, Be Well. In the Intro, I talk about some of the reasons I wrote the book. While they stand true, there is another layer I did not address.

My father was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes when I was young. Even then, there was a link established between dietary modifications and the progression of this disease. His doctors told him that he could dramatically slow the progression by changing his diet. Over the years we watched my father try to change the way he ate, but he would always return to his prior way of eating. Healthy food recipes that tasted delicious simply did not exist back then, or were very scarce.
[]
My father's disease progressed from oral medication to insulin injections to a loss of vision and ultimately kindney failure. He passed away at a very young age, in his mid 50's, after a failed kidney transplant. It was devastating, as is always the case in the loss of a loved one.
[]
One of the many thoughts that stuck with me over the years after his passing was the feeling that it didn't have to be that way. I know I'm not alone. Many feel this way when faced with the loss of a loved one. But I wanted to do something, if even in a very small way, to help other people avert premature loss.
[]
My greatest inspiration for creating these recipes is to use a loss for good. Making food that is life promoting and nourishing, yet doesn't make you feel like you are sacrificing by abstaining from palate pleasing flavors. I create these recipes to provide people that are battling preventable diseases, or want to be a healthier version of themselves, alternatives to the life-robbing foods. Ones that don't require isolation at the dinner table. Dishes that can be shared and enjoyed by all!
[]
I know my father would be happily picking up his fork to eat these recipes on repeat, and for me that is the ultimate satisfaction!
