This gluten free chocolate chip bread took a few tries and some major fails with the leavening process, but eventually everything worked out great and I can finally share the recipe with you!
The final result is a high, soft, bread-y loaf, not too sweet, filled with crunchy chocolate chunks and completed by a hint of orange flavour.
SO. Yummie.
The taste of this gluten free chocolate chunk loaf is everything.
And it’s also vegan, which makes it even more allergy-friendly as no dairy or eggs are involved 😉
Keep scrolling for the recipe and let me know if you try it!

This gluten free vegan chocolate chip bread is a high, soft, bread-y loaf, not too sweet, filled with crunchy chocolate chunks and completed by a hint of orange flavour!
- 370 gr gluten free brown rice flour
- 130 gr gluten free (potato) starch
- 1 tsp cream of tartar
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 40 gr (brown) sugar
- gluten free vegan dry active yeast (doses depend on your yeast package instrucrions: the amount of yeast has to work for 500 gr flours)
- grated zest of half an orange
- 2/3 tsp salt
- 3 tbsp ground flax seeds
- 2 tbsp sunflower seed oil
- 370 gr lukewarm water
- 100 gr dairy/gluten free dark chocolate (you can use chocolate chips, but using chunks from a chocolate bar give a crunchier feel)
-
In a bowl add the brown rice flour, the starch, cream of tartar, baking soda, sugar, orange zest, yeast and mix well
-
In another bowl add the lukewearm water, the oil and the ground flax seed, mix well and power the mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients
-
Mix everything thoroughly, add the salt and keep stirring and mixing for 2-3 minutes
-
Add the chocolate chips (or cut a chocolate bar into small irregular chunks, they will give a crunchier feel to the bread) and incorporate them into the batter
-
Grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper, pour the bread butter in the pan and cover it with a small towel, letting it rest for 1 hour at room temperature
-
Pre-heat the oven at 200° C / 400 F
-
Before baking, add more chocolate chunks/chips on top
-
Bake for 10 minutes at 200° C / 400 F, then lower the oven temperature to 180° C / 360 F and let the chocolate bread bake for another 20-25 minutes
-
Once out of the oven, let it cool down for 10-15 minutes before slicing and store it in an airtight container to keep is soft up to 2-3 days
-
When the bread gets a bit dry, you can warm it a couple minutes in the oven/microwave and it will be soft again
*If you are sensitive to yeast, you can omit it and double the doses for cream of tartar and baking soda.
This way the loaf will have more of a cake texture, rather than a bread-y one.
