The jar contents have flour, cocoa powder, and a mix of flour, sugar, ground up bittersweet chocolate(yes you need this to make a moist loaf with a burst of chocolate), spices and baking powder. You can omit the oil and add more pumpkin. The resulting loaf is moist, full of chocolate and pumpkin flavors and perfect for snack, breakfast or dessert! The loaf is amazing as is. You can glaze it with a spiced whipped coconut cream frosting or a simple chocolate glaze or my Pumpkin caramel. Or serve with vegan vanilla Ice-cream.

You can make the loaf from the recipe and not make a DIY Jar Gift. 🙂 You can also make muffins with the batter. Or make this without pumpkin and use non dairy yogurt or applesauce to make a spiced chocolate loaf. I use cocoa butter based vegan dark chocolate (Theo), vegan chocolate chips (Enjoy Life) in the recipe. So no palm oil in this recipe. You can find them in my amazon store here.

Make a big batch of the Chocolate Pumpkin Loaf mix in a jar or make the loaf itself. This loaf mix fits in a Quart jar or any jar that can hold 4 cups. Also convert this Gingerbread cake into a jar gift!
