Equipment

  • 9 x 5 loaf pan
  • cooling rack

Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsweetened non-dairy milk
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • ⅓ cup white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup oil
  • ½ cup molasses
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup non-dairy chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°. Prepare a 9 x 5 loaf pan by spraying with non-stick oil spray.
  • Add the apple cider vinegar to the non-dairy milk, stir and set aside for about 5 minutes. This will make a buttermilk substitute.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
  • In a separate bowl, mix the oil, molasses, and vanilla extract.
  • Add the molasses mixture and the milk mixture to the dry ingredients. Mix to combine but do not over mix.
  • Stir in all but a few of the chocolate chips. Immediately pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  • Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips on top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for about 55 minutes. Put a piece of aluminum foil on top of the loaf for the last 30 minutes to prevent over browning.
  • Remove the oven and cool the loaf in the pan for 15 minutes.
  • Remove the loaf from the pan and cool completely on a wire rack.
  • Slice and enjoy. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Notes

  • Use any unsweetened non-dairy milk.  I use unsweetened soy.
  • My favorite dairy-free chocolate chips to use are from Trader Joe's.
  • For best taste, I prefer using regular molasses to blackstrap molasses.
  • Make sure your bread is completely cooled before you cut it or it will crumble.
