‘Tis the season for rich cocoa and bright, jolly peppermint! Inspired by the popular Trader Joe’s Chocolate Peppermint Loaf & Baking Mix, this decadent bread brings joy and cheer to cool winter days. Serve a slice with hot cocoa for an afternoon treat or add it to the dessert table at your next holiday party.
Ingredients
-
Primal Kitchen Pure Avocado Oil Spray
1 ½ cups gluten-free baking flour (we used Bob’s Red Mill)
¼ cup dark cocoa powder
¾ teaspoon baking soda
½ cup coconut sugar
4 tablespoons butter, softened
2 eggs
½ cup plain Greek yogurt
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon peppermint extract (optional)
6 oz. chocolate chips (We used Hu dark chocolate gems)
Directions
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Lightly spray a loaf pan with Primal Kitchen Avocado Oil Spray.
Add the flour, cocoa powder, peppermint collagen, and baking soda to a mixing bowl. Whisk to combine. Set aside.
Place the coconut sugar and butter in a separate large mixing bowl. Beat with a stand mixer or hand mixer until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs to the butter and sugar mixture and whisk gently. Add in the yogurt, vanilla extract, and peppermint extract (if desired) and mix until combined.
Slowly add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined, using a spatula to scrape the sides of the bowl. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 50-60 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Set aside to cool.
Slice, serve, and enjoy!
